Hey @01AbhiSingh Looks good. You also need to remove it here:

pytorch-lightning/requirements/pytorch/base.txt

Line 4 in 2dc9c3d

numpy >=1.21.0, <1.27.0

Since we still need numpy for testing, and it's no longer in the base requirements, you'll have to add it to the test files:
https://github.com/Lightning-AI/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/requirements/pytorch/test.txt
https://github.com/Lightning-AI/pytorch-lightning/blob/master/requirements/fabric/test.txt
