Decided
Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The application was disposed of as there was no remaining issue for adjudication.

Summary

The petitioner, Chandan Kumar, filed a writ application before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and its officials. The State responded by producing a memo dated 03.08.2022, indicating that the requisite order had already been issued by the Deputy Development Commissioner-cum-Chief Executive Officer, District Council, Aurangabad, and that no further matter remained for adjudication. The petitioner’s counsel was unable to refute the State’s submission or demonstrate any surviving issue. Consequently, the Court found that there was nothing left to be decided on the application. The Court therefore disposed of the petition, effectively dismissing the writ application.

Issues considered

  • What, if any, relief remains for the petitioner after the State’s submission that the necessary order has already been passed?

Subjects

  • writ jurisdiction
  • administrative order
  • petition disposal
  • no remaining issue
