The court had previously issued an order on 18-12-2025 requiring compliance, which the petitioners failed to fulfill. On 02-02-2026, Justice Alok Kumar Sinha dismissed the MJC application on the ground of non‑compliance with the earlier order. No substantive merits of the petition were addressed. The dismissal effectively upholds the status quo and leaves the petitioners without the relief sought.
