JEEVAN KUMAR VERMA @ JEEVAN KUMARversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 30 January 2026
Disposal: WITHDRAWN
Bench: SONI SHRIVASTAVA

Holding

The Court held that the application is dismissed as withdrawn because the compromise rendered it infructuous.

Summary

Jeevan Kumar Verma filed a petition in the Patna High Court arising from a 2015 criminal case. During the proceedings, the petitioner filed an application, which later became moot due to a compromise between the parties. The petitioner’s counsel sought to withdraw the application on the ground that it had become infructuous. The Court examined whether a compromise rendered the application withdrawable. Finding that the compromise indeed made the application unnecessary, the Court allowed the withdrawal. Consequently, the application was dismissed as withdrawn.
