Heard the parties.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that S.A. No.216 of 2009 stood dismissed for default vide order dated 08.12.2022. It is next submitted that S.A. No.216 of 2009 was listed before this Bench on 08.12.2022 and the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he was undergoing treatment for his illness, hence, the learned counsel for the petitioner could not turn up when S.A. No.216 of 2009 was called out; which resulted in dismissal of the said S.A. No.216 of 2009. It is next submitted that non-appearance of the petitioner on 08.12.2022 was neither deliberate nor intentional.

Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, S.A. No.216 of 2009 is directed to be restored to its original file at the same stage at which it was before its dismissal subject to payment of cost of Rs.6,000/- by the petitioner to the opposite party through his counsel within four weeks from the date of this order.
Registry is directed to list S.A. No.216 of 2009 before the concerned Bench after two weeks only if the petitioner files the proof of paying the cost of Rs.6,000/- to the opposite party through his counsel appearing in the record, within four weeks from the date of this order; failing which this conditional order shall not be given effect to and S.A. No.216 of 2009 shall remain dismissed.
This Civil Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly.
