The Patna High Court quashed District Magistrate orders imposing Section 3(3) Bihar Crime Control Act, 2024 restrictions on two Nalanda men, which required thrice-weekly attendance at Silao police station 40 km from home. The court held the orders were passed without subjective satisfaction or verification beyond an unverified police sanha, and that the SP Nalanda, the SDPO and the SHO police station had acted in haste in ignorance of the law, apparently to keep the petitioners out of the Assembly Election. It directed the State to pay each petitioner 1,00,000 compensation plus Rs 10,000 litigation costs within one month, recoverable from the erring officials after hearing. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
