Suresh Prasad SahuversusThe State of Bihar

Decided
Disposal
WITHDRAWN

Holding

The writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Suresh Prasad Sahu, filed a writ petition seeking a mandamus directing the State authorities to release a piece of land (Khata No. 152, Kheshra No. 421) from a stay list maintained by the Sub‑Registrar of Muzaffarpur. The petition alleged that the stay list unjustly restricted his right over the land. The petition was presented before the Patna High Court, and counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Ratneshwar Prasad, later moved for withdrawal of the petition. The court entertained the withdrawal application and, finding no opposition, ordered the dismissal of the writ petition as withdrawn. Consequently, no substantive adjudication on the merits or the legality of the stay list was made.
