CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Ashutosh Mishra, Advocate (Through V.C.) For the State : Mr. Harsh Chandra, AC to GP-IV For the BSRTC, Patna : Mr. Pankaj Kumar, Advocate …...... 05 /28.01.2026: Mr. Ashutosh Mishra, the learned counsel for the petitioner appears through virtual mode. He has no complaint regarding the quality and clarity of audio and video. 2. When the matter is listed today, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance of the petitioner has already been redressed. Thus, he wants to withdraw this writ petition. 2026:JHHC:2050 2 3. Before passing any order, this Court is inclined to take notice of the time line of listing of this case. This case was filed on 23.12.2022 and was registered on 26.12.2022. As there were several defects in the writ petition as pointed out by the Stamp Reported the matter was listed before the Joint Registrar (Judicial) on 20.02.2023. Thereafter again it was listed before the Lawazima Board of the Registrar General on 30.01.2024. Inspite of time given by both the Lawazima Boards the defects were not removed. As per the procedure the matter then should have been immediately listed before the Bench. It is really surprising, that this case is listed today (28.01.2026) after two years, under the heading for “Orders (with defect)”. This is a serious lapse on the part of the Dealing Assistant/Assistant Section Officer and the Officials who are In-charge of the Writ section of this Court. 4. This Court had on earlier occasion also noted the latches on the part of the officials who are posted in the Writ section. This Court in three writ petitions being WP(S) No. 2450 of 2021, WP(S) No. 2495 of 2021 and WP(S) No. 6755 of 2022 vide order dated 11.11.2025 noted the latches of the officials of the Writ sections and took serious view. Cognizance was also taken by Hon’ble the Chief Justice. 5. From the file which was produced before me today, I find that Hon’ble the Chief Justice directed to issue warning to the Officials, which was also communicated to them on 06.12.2025. Inspite of that, the defective matters are still lying before the Writ section, yet to be listed. One of them has been listed today. 6. It has been brought to the notice of this Court by the Court Master that the said Officer is the same Dealing Assistant/ Assistant Section Officer who is In-charge of this file. 7. Thus, I direct the Registrar General to take appropriate corrective measures. The Registrar General will ensure that no defective file is kept in the office without being listed after the file has been dealt with by both the Lawazima Board. 2026:JHHC:2050 3 8. Let a copy of this order be immediately served upon the Registrar General. 9. Since the petitioner wanted to withdraw this writ petition, this writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
