Authority: High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi

Order Date: 05 October 2026

Case Overview

  • Petitioner: Sahid Ahmad, resident of Birda, Karra, Khunti, owner of Aman Nursing Home, a clinical establishment registered under Section 15 of the Clinical Establishment (Registration Regulation) Act.
  • Respondents: State of Jharkhand and Assistant Sub‑Inspector Dipak Kanth Kumar.
  • The petitioner filed a writ application seeking a direction to unseal and unlock the premises of his nursing home, alleging that the establishment had been sealed without notice.
  • An FIR was lodged and a surprise inspection uncovered that the petitioner was practicing allopathic medicine without any supporting documents, leading to police case No. 93/2025 in Karra Police Station.
  • The State filed a counter‑affidavit stating that the police had not sealed the premises; consequently, the petitioner’s relief became redundant.

Final Outcome

  • The Court held that, in view of the State’s affidavit, no cause of action existed for the writ petition and therefore disposed of the application, dismissing the petition.
