Heard the parties.
This miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with a prayer for restoration of W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 its original file which stood dismissed for non-prosecution on 08.04.2025.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 stood dismissed for non-prosecution on 08.04.2025 by this Court. It is next submitted that as the counsel for the petitioner could not mark the case, hence, no one appeared before this Court when the said W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 was called out resulting in dismissal of the said W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 for non-prosecution. It is next submitted that non-prosecution before this Court on 08.04.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 be restored to its original file.
Learned counsel appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 is directed to be restored to its original file at the same stage at which it was before its dismissal.
Registry is directed to list W.P.(Cr.) No.09 of 2025 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly.
