SANJAY KUMAR SAHNIversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 30 March 2026
Disposal: WITHDRAWN
Bench: PRAVEEN KUMAR

Holding

The Court held that the petitioners may withdraw the application and therefore dismissed it as withdrawn.

Summary

Petitioners Sanjay Kumar Sahni and Vijay Kumar Sahni filed a criminal miscellaneous petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and the Block Education Officer. They later moved an application seeking permission to withdraw the petition on the ground that the passage of time had altered the stage of the case. Their counsel argued that due to efflux of time the continuation of the proceedings was no longer appropriate. The Court considered whether the petition could be withdrawn at that stage. The Court granted permission for withdrawal. Consequently, the application was dismissed as withdrawn.
