The court held that the petitioner may withdraw the writ petition and is entitled to the liberty to avail the Amnesty Policy 2025.
Summary
M/s International Binding Unit filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging certain actions of the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA) and related officials. The petitioner sought permission to withdraw the writ petition and requested liberty to avail the Amnesty Policy 2025 issued by BIADA on 19 August 2025. The primary issue before the court was whether the petitioner could be allowed to withdraw the petition and still benefit from the amnesty scheme. Counsel for the petitioner moved that the withdrawal be permitted, citing the policy’s provisions. The court, after hearing the counsel, granted permission to withdraw the petition and allowed the petitioner to avail the amnesty policy, thereby disposing of the writ petition as withdrawn.
