HIGH COURT OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT JAMMU CM Nos. 1851 & 1852/2026 in WP(C) No. 979/2014 Papu Ram …..Petitioner Through: Mr. M.P. Sharma, Advocate Vs State of J&K & Ors. .….Respondents Through: CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAHUL BHARTI, JUDGE ORDER (20.04.2026) CM Nos. 1851 & 1852/2026 01. WP(C) No. 979/2014 instituted in the year 2014 came to be dismissed by this Court when Mr. M.P. Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner reported that he has no instructions from the petitioner. 02. Instead of withdrawing his vakalatnama from the case for enabling this Court then to put the petitioner on notice, the learned counsel Mr. M.P. Sharma, obviously meant that lack of instructions from his client’s end meant non- prosecution otherwise Mr. M.P. Sharma, learned counsel should have argued the case in the face of the fact that reply/objections to the writ petition had been filed. Serial Nos. 01 & 02 Regular List 2 CM Nos. 1851 & 1852/2026 in WP(C) No. 979/2014 03. The filing of the reply-cum-objections to the writ petition had come to take place in year 2015. 04. After having suffered dismissal of said writ petition, the petitioner through same very counsel is coming forward with CM No. 1852/2026 seeking restoration and recalling of order dated 29.10.2025. 05. In the application, it is being stated that the applicant/petitioner came to know from the office of Block Medical Officer, Health and Family Welfare, Billawar on 23.03.2026 that his writ petition has been dismissed which led him to the knowledge of dismissal of writ petition and consequent filing of the application for restoration. 06. In the application, it has not been accounted for as to why there was a state of no instructions between the applicant/petitioner and his counsel and, therefore, there is apparent lack of cause set out in the application. 07. This application is reckoned to be misconceived which is meant to take this Court for granted that in name of generalized and sweeping references that the applicant was not able to make contact with his counsel because of some unavoidable circumstances beyond his control this Court is to be swayed in ordering restoration of the writ 3 CM Nos. 1851 & 1852/2026 in WP(C) No. 979/2014 petition on asking particularly, when the applicant at his end submits that he was attending his duties only to know about the dismissal of his writ petition from the office Block Medical Officer, Health and Family Welfare, Billawar. 08. The application is held to be misconceived and hence dismissed. 09. Both the applications being CM No. 1851 and 1852 of 2026 are dismissed accordingly. (RAHUL BHARTI) JUDGE JAMMU 20.04.2026 SUNIL
