The petition is dismissed for want of prosecution.
Summary
Hari Nandan Singh filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court seeking quashing of three orders dated 19‑12‑2017, 24‑11‑2016 and 14‑05‑2015, which dismissed his BLT case, a mutation revision petition and a mutation appeal respectively, and also asked for direction to dispose of his pending mutation case. No counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner, while the State of Bihar was present. The court observed that the petition was not prosecuted. Accordingly, Justice Rajiv Roy dismissed the petition for want of prosecution. The dismissal leaves the impugned orders in force.
