Subash ChandraversusShalini Kumari

Decided: 29 January 2026
Disposal: CONVERTED

Holding

The court held that the civil miscellaneous application should be converted into a criminal revision.

Summary

The petitioner Subash Chandra filed a civil miscellaneous application before the Patna High Court. The court, after hearing counsel, referred to a Full Bench decision in Dr. Dilip Kumar vs. State of Bihar (Cr. Misc. 6740 of 2016, dated 22.11.2024) and ordered that the civil application be converted into a criminal revision. The order directs that the matter be listed before the appropriate roster bench for further proceedings. No substantive factual dispute was addressed, and the decision was procedural in nature. The conversion aligns with the precedent that civil applications seeking criminal remedies may be transformed into criminal revisions.
