The Court held that the petitioner may withdraw the writ petition and is permitted to avail the Amnesty Policy 2025.
Summary
M/S Mono Distributors, through its proprietor Shashi Kumar, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging certain actions of the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA). The petitioner sought to withdraw the writ petition and requested permission to avail the Amnesty Policy 2025 issued by BIADA via Office Order No. 3348/L dated 19.08.2025. The petitioner argued that withdrawal should be allowed without prejudice to his right to benefit from the Amnesty Scheme. The Court examined whether a petitioner may be permitted to withdraw a writ petition and simultaneously retain the liberty to claim benefits under an administrative policy. Finding no legal impediment, the Court granted leave to withdraw the petition and allowed the petitioner to avail the Amnesty Policy. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty to avail the policy.
