Summary
M/s Durgawati Steel Industries, through its proprietor and authorized representative, filed a petition before the Patna High Court seeking to avail the Amnesty Policy, 2025 issued by the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA). The petitioners contended that the policy should apply to their case and that any contempt proceedings against them should be stayed.
