Decided: 9 February 2026
Disposal: WITHDRAWN
Bench: ANSHUMAN

Holding

The petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to the petitioner to file a revision.

Summary

Rina Devi filed a civil writ petition (CWJC No.8827 of 2024) in the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and various district officials concerning the Integrated Child Development Services. During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel sought the court’s permission to withdraw the writ petition and instead pursue a remedy of revision. The court examined whether a petitioner may be allowed to withdraw a writ petition while retaining the right to approach a higher court via revision. It held that procedural law permits such withdrawal with liberty to file a revision petition. Consequently, the court granted the petitioner's request, dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn, and gave the petitioner liberty to avail the revision remedy.
