Decided: 18 March 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED
Bench: SUNIL DUTTA MISHRA

Holding

The petition was dismissed as not pressed.

Summary

Awadhesh Kumar Sinha filed a civil writ petition (C.W.J.C. No.15654 of 2016) before the Patna High Court seeking relief against the State of Bihar and several officials. The petitioner’s counsel informed the court that the order dated 24‑10‑2024 in the same case had already been complied with, and therefore the petitioner no longer wished to pursue the petition. The State’s counsel raised no objection to the petitioner’s request to withdraw. The learned judge considered that there was no longer any cause of action or pending relief to be granted. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition as not pressed, effectively dismissing it without further hearing.

Issues considered

Whether a civil writ petition can be withdrawn or dismissed when the petitioner acknowledges compliance with the earlier order.
