There’s a procedure that was meant to be followed after the withdrawal of the complaint and that took time.” Probing further if there was any money transaction involved in the settlement, Ayesha said that she can neither dwell on that nor on the reasons why she took the step of withdrawing what she had earlier filed because, “T...
