Summary
The petitioner, Jitendra Kumar, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court. During the pendency of that petition, a subsequent development occurred, prompting the petitioner to file another writ petition (CWJC No.16988 of 2024). The petitioner then moved the court to withdraw the original writ petition, arguing that it had become infructuous. The court, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, the State, and the Bihar Technical Staff Selection Commission, granted permission to withdraw the petition. Consequently, the original writ application was dismissed as withdrawn.
