Summary

The petitioners, three residents of Dhangarha in Kishanganj district, filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court seeking to initiate contempt proceedings against the State of Bihar and its officials for allegedly willfully violating an order dated 17 January 2017 in Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No. 38 of 2012. The petition alleged that the respondents had deliberately disobeyed the earlier order and requested the court to enforce compliance through contempt. During the hearing on 9 April 2026, the petitioners' counsel sought to withdraw the petition. The court granted permission for withdrawal. Consequently, the petition (MJC No. 666 of 2018) was dismissed as withdrawn.
