Summary

The petitioners, a group of six individuals, filed a writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and its officials. The petition sought relief against the State and various departmental heads, including the Food and Consumer Protection Department and the Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation. The court had earlier issued an order on 09-12-2025 directing the petitioners to comply with certain procedural requirements.
