Patna High Court

The Patna HC's ruling came in response to a writ petition filed by Police Inspector Mukesh Kumar Paswan.

Bihar Sunni Waqf Board has been frequently issuing notices to residents of Govindpur village who have built houses and have been living there for many years. There are around 95% Hindu families living in this village.

Notably, the Bihar government has approached the top court to challenge the Patna High Court’s order dated 20th June 2024 in which it set aside its law that increased reservation from 50% to 65% in the state.

It is pertinent to mention that the RJD-JDU-led Bihar government's amendments in November last year, based on a state-wide caste census, increased reservations to 20% for Scheduled Castes, 2% for Scheduled Tribes, 18% for Other Backward Classes, and 25% for Extremely Backward Classes, with an additional 10% for the Economically Weaker Sections, bringing the total to 75%.

The woman's lawyer further argued that calling a lady "bhoot" and "pishach" by her in-laws in the twenty-first century was "a form of immense cruelty."

A lawyer facing a case under section 498A IPC attempted to end his life by jumping from the Patna High Court building.

IPS officer Aditya Kumar reportedly created a fake WhatsApp profile of a former Patna HC Chief Justice to influence criminal proceedings against him.

Patna HC noted that only putting sindoor on a woman’s forehead doesn't constitute a marriage under Hindu law.

The court also sought to know from the Bihar government why they published the data. The court was hearing petitions challenging the Patna High Court's decision to uphold the caste survey initiated by the Bihar Government.

As the case progressed, several of Sachdeva's friends turned hostile during court appearances, which changed the course of the case.
