Decided: 13 January 2026

Bench: ALOK KUMAR SINHA

Holding

The writ application is dismissed as withdrawn.

Summary

Petitioners Mitendu Sinha and Kumar Amitabh filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and related officials. The petition sought relief, but the petitioners' counsel later informed the court that the order of the writ court had been complied with. Consequently, the counsel instructed that the writ application be withdrawn. The court noted that the defect pointed out by the Office had been ignored, but accepted the withdrawal request. The application was therefore dismissed as withdrawn, bringing the proceedings to an end.
