Md. Shamshe Alam @ Shamse Alam v. The State Of Bihar and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Consent-based disposal of CWJC No.8744 of 2016 (Patna High Court, 06-05-2025, Dr. Anshuman, J.). Keywords: liberty to file appeal; Appellate Authority/Appellate Forum; original order dated 01.09.2015; Memo No.148; D.I.G., Central Range, Patna; Annexure-10; six-month timeline for deciding appeal; condonation of delay; State of Bihar and senior police functionaries (DGP, ADG, IG, DIG, SSP) as respondents. Useful where an advocate needs authority for a writ court granting liberty to pursue the statutory appellate remedy against a departmental/police order instead of deciding the writ on merits.
What did the court decide?
Liberty granted to the petitioner to challenge the original order dated 01.09.2015 (Memo No.148) passed by the D.I.G., Central Range, Patna before the Appellate Authority; the appeal to be decided within six months of production of this order, and any delay in filing to be condoned.
