Chandan Kumar, an elected panchayat representative from Nalanda district, Bihar, filed a criminal writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging an externment order dated 10 October 2025 passed by the District Magistrate, Nalanda under Section 3(3) of the Bihar Control of Crimes Act, 2024. The order directed him to report to Silao Police Station (located 20 km from his home) three days a week for two months, restricted his movement beyond Giryak Police Station's jurisdiction without permission, and prohibited him from carrying certain articles. The petitioner contended that the externment proceedings were initiated by way of vendetta because he had complained against block-level authorities for non-implementation of welfare schemes, and that the FIRs and Sanha entries relied upon were false and frivolous, noting that bail had been granted to him in all cases. He further argued that the show-cause notice dated 3 October 2025 was received only on 7 October 2025, leaving him insufficient time to file an effective reply before the order was passed on 10 October 2025. The judgment text as provided does not record the final decision of the High Court, as the text appears to be cut off before the court's ruling is stated.
