Decided: 11 March 2026
Disposal: CONSIGNED
Bench: PURNENDU SINGH

Holding

The petition is consigned to the District Court as the bar under Section 403 of the BNSS prevents its adjudication in the High Court.

Summary

Pappu Yadav and Mohan Yadav filed a petition before the Patna High Court seeking a remedy against the State of Bihar. They argued that the bar imposed by Section 403 of the BNSS prevented them from proceeding in the High Court. The Court examined whether the petition could be entertained despite the statutory bar. It held that the petition could not be entertained in the High Court and was to be dealt with by the appropriate District Court. Consequently, the petition was consigned to the District Court for further proceedings.
