Patna High Court

Nageshar SahversusThe State of Bihar

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

Holding

Non‑compliance with the peremptory order resulted in dismissal of the petition.

Summary

The petitioners, a group of residents of Raja Pakar village in Vaishali district, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and various land‑consolidation officials. The court issued a peremptory order on 15 September 2025 directing the petitioners to remove certain defects within three weeks. The petitioners failed to comply with this order. Consequently, the court held that non‑compliance with a peremptory direction warrants dismissal of the petition. The petition was therefore dismissed on 7 October 2025 and the file was consigned after perusal.
