Patna High Court CWJC No.11459 of 2021(4) dt.18-11-2025 2/2 petitioner.

If the petitioner avails this liberty within the next six weeks then the time spent by the petitioner in this writ application shall be excluded while computing the necessary limitation period.

4. This writ petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid liberty.
