Patna High Court

Sanjay Kumar and OrsversusThe State Of Bihar and Ors

Decided: 22 January 2026
Disposal: D.F.D. FOR NON APPEARANCE
Bench: ALOK KUMAR SINHA

Holding

The petition is dismissed as the petitioners failed to prosecute the case, relying on the earlier order dated 17‑12‑2025.

Summary

The petitioners, a group of individuals from East Champaran, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and several government officials and teachers. The petition sought relief (the specific relief is not detailed in the judgment) but the petitioners failed to appear or prosecute the case. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioners, while counsel for the respondents, represented by Mr. M. Pd. Yadaw-Gp23, was present. The Court noted a prior order dated 17-12-2025 and observed that the petitioners had not taken any steps to advance the proceedings. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition for non‑prosecution, effectively disposing of the matter.
