Decided: 3 February 2026
Disposal: CONSIGNED
Bench: RAJIV ROY

Holding

The petition was dismissed for failure to comply with the peremptory order.

Summary

Manoj Kumar Singh filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court seeking relief against the State of Bihar and several officials. The court issued a peremptory order on 14 July 2025 directing the petitioner to remove certain defects within four weeks. The petitioner failed to comply with this order by the deadline of 11 August 2025. Consequently, the court considered the non‑compliance and held that the petition could not proceed. The court therefore dismissed the petition on 11 August 2025. No further relief was granted to the petitioner.

Issues considered

Did the petitioner comply with the peremptory order to remove defects within the stipulated time?
Is dismissal of the petition appropriate for failure to comply with the peremptory order?
