Patna High Court

Jitendra Narain SinghversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 9 January 2026
Disposal: DISMISS FOR NON-PROSECUTION
Bench: ANSHUMAN

Holding

The MJC application is dismissed due to the petitioner's failure to comply with the peremptory order.

Summary

Jitendra Narain Singh filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and officials of Magadh University. The petition was listed for hearing on 9 January 2026, but no counsel appeared on behalf of the petitioner while the State's counsel was present. The court examined the record and observed that a peremptory order dated 21 November 2025 issued in the same matter had not been complied with by the petitioner. The non‑compliance was deemed a failure to obey the court's direction. Consequently, Justice Dr. Anshuman dismissed the Miscellaneous Jurisdiction (MJC) application filed by the petitioner. The dismissal effectively upholds the earlier order and closes the petition.
