Holding
The petition is dismissed as withdrawn upon granting permission to withdraw the writ petition.
Summary
Mahendra Narain Sinha filed a civil writ petition (CWJC No.6954 of 2024) in the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and several officials. The petitioner later sought the Court’s permission to withdraw the writ so that he could pursue a specific remedy outside the writ jurisdiction. The learned counsel argued that withdrawal would not prejudice any party and is permissible under procedural law. The Court, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, the State and the Jila Parishad, granted the request to withdraw. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn, allowing the petitioner to seek the specific remedy he desired.
