Holding
The Court granted permission to withdraw the writ petition and dismissed it as withdrawn.
Summary
A group of police personnel filed a civil writ petition (CWJC No.9040 of 2025) before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and its police officials. During the pendency of the petition, the petitioners claimed that their grievance had been satisfactorily redressed. They consequently moved the Court seeking permission to withdraw the writ petition. The learned counsel for the petitioners argued that withdrawal was appropriate as the relief sought was no longer required. The Court, after hearing both sides, granted permission to withdraw the petition. Accordingly, the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn.
