2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that when the petition was filed, cognizance had already been taken. However, the learned co-ordinate Bench proceeded in the matter and issued notices.

3. Recently, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Neeta Singh & Ors. v. The State of Uttar Pradesh & Ors., reported in 2024 SCC OnLine SC 5761 has held that the judicial orders are not amenable to writ jurisdiction. More so, when cognizance has already been taken in the present case. I am of the opinion that the subject matter of challenge to the FIR of Sonpur P.S. Case No. 187 of 2021 could not be entertained due to further proceeding which has already taken place in the matter.

4. In these circumstances, learned counsel for the

Patna High Court CR. WJC No.506 of 2022(12) dt.12-01-2026 2/2 petitioner seeks permission to convert the present Criminal Writ Jurisdiction petition to Criminal Revision petition.
