Heard the parties.
This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed at the instance of the petitioner for restoration of W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 to its original file.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 was dismissed for default. It is next submitted that as the counsel for the petitioner could not mark the case in the cause list hence, he could not appear before this Court when the case was called out and the same resulted in dismissal of W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012. It is further submitted that non-appearance of the counsel for the petitioner was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is next submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 and unless W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 be restored to its original file.
Considering the facts of the case and the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 is
restored to its original file to the stage at which, it was before its dismissal.
List W.P. (Cr.) No. 395 of 2012 under the appropriate heading before the appropriate bench after a week.
