     ORAL JUDGMENT

(Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE)

Date : 02-02-2026

This Letters Patent Appeal has been filed challenging

the order dated 22.12.2025 passed by the leaned Single Judge in Patna High Court L.P.A No.33 of 2026 dt.02-02-2026

C.W.J.C. No. 20019 of 2025.

The order reads as follows:-

"The matter requires hearing and final disposal, therefore, no interim orders can be passed at this case.

2. Post this matter on 5th January, 2026."

2. When we made a query to the learned counsel for

the appellant as to what happened on 5th January, 2026 when the

matter was directed to be listed, the learned counsel informed us

that the matter could not be taken up on that day, and though it

was listed thereafter also, the final hearing has not taken place.

3. From the data available on the High Court Website,

it appears that on various dates the matter was listed before the

learned Single Judge for admission.

4. The learned Advocate General informed us that the

matter was listed last time on 31.01.2026, which is also not

disputed by the learned counsel for the appellant. He, however,

submits that though the matter was posted to today but it has not

been listed and since there is urgency involved in the matter and

the interim order has not been passed therefore, the learned

Single Judge may be requested to hear the matter at the earliest.

5. It is open to the appellant to make a mention before

the learned Single Judge indicating the urgency in the matter Patna High Court L.P.A No.33 of 2026 dt.02-02-2026

which will be considered in accordance with law.

6. It is made clear that we are expressing no opinion

on the merits of the case.

7. Accordingly, the Letters Patent Appeal is disposed

of.

8. Interlocutory Application(s), if any, shall stand

disposed of.
