Summary
Indu Shekhar Jha filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court seeking a certiorari to quash an order dated 07‑02‑2012 issued by the Deputy Collector Land Reforms, Madhubani, which directed correction of Jamabandi No. 14/61 in favour of private respondents due to a clerical mistake. The petitioner claimed a special power of attorney and asked the court to set aside the correction and direct a fresh proceeding. The petitioner’s counsel later moved for withdrawal of the petition. The court, noting the withdrawal, dismissed the petition as withdrawn without further substantive consideration. Consequently, the order correcting the Jamabandi remains in force.
