The petitioner alleged that the order was a direction against the State of Bihar and the Khadi Board and sought its enforcement. The Court examined whether the earlier order constituted a binding direction enforceable upon the opposite parties.

Consequently, the petitioner was directed to approach the opposite parties for any redress, and the petition was dismissed as not pressed.
