The Excise Court in Benipur, Darbhanga district, has been expanded to hear cases from two subdivisions. The Bihar government has issued a notification to this effect. Advocate Sushil Kumar Choudhary, National General Secretary of the All India Advocates Welfare Committee (Youth Wing), shared this information via a press release.

Choudhary stated that there had been a long-standing demand for the empowerment and expansion of the jurisdiction of the Benipur Excise Court. Considering public interest, the Bihar government had previously approved the expansion proposal in a cabinet meeting. With the jurisdiction now defined, excise cases from both Benipur and Biraul subdivisions will be heard in the Benipur Excise Court.

According to the issued notification, all excise cases related to police station areas including Bahera, Alinagar, Ghanshyampur, Biraul, Kusheshwarsthan, Jamalpur, Bargaon, Nadi, Excise Benipur, and Excise Biraul, falling under Benipur and Biraul subdivisions, will now be heard at the Benipur Excise Court. This expansion is expected to provide convenience to people and advocates involved in excise cases from both subdivisions.

Advocate Sushil Kumar Choudhary further informed that Darbhanga's Principal District and Sessions Judge, Ajay Kumar Sharma, had written to the Patna High Court requesting the demarcation of the Benipur Excise Court's jurisdiction in public interest. Subsequently, the Acting Chief Justice of the Patna High Court, Justice Sudhir Singh, formally notified the jurisdiction of the Benipur Excise Court. Advocate Choudhary expressed his happiness over this decision, terming it a significant judicial advancement for Benipur, and extended his gratitude to Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, JDU National Executive President Sanjay Kumar Jha, Justice Sudhir Singh, and Principal District and Sessions Judge Ajay Kumar Sharma.
