Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this C.M.P. has been filed with the prayer to readmit the S.A. No.322 of 2003 to its original file which stood dismissed because of non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 08.03.2018 passed in S.A. No.322 of 2003 by which time was allowed to the appellant subject to payment of cost of Rs.1,000/- to the respondents. It is next submitted that due to miscommunication, the petitioner was ignorant about the peremptory order of this Court to pay the said cost to the respondents. It is then submitted that the petitioner lives in a remote area. It is then submitted that the petitioner is a poor person. It is also submitted that the petitioner has already paid the said cost of Rs.1,000/- to the learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties. The learned counsel for the opposite parties acknowledges the receipt of payment of cost of Rs.1,000/- from the petitioner. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 08.03.2018 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is further submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said S.A. No.322 of 2003 and unless the same is readmitted to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the S.A. No.322 of 2003 be readmitted to its original file. Learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties submits that the petitioner is deliberately delaying the disposal of the second appeal. It is next submitted that the opposite parties will unnecessarily be harassed if the same is readmitted to its original file, hence, the opposite parties be compensated adequately.

No.322 of 2003 is directed to be readmitted to its original file at the same stage at which it was before its dismissal subject to payment of cost of Rs.2,000/- by the petitioner to the opposite parties through their counsel appearing in the record within two weeks from the date of this order; failing which, this conditional order shall not be given effect to and this second appeal shall stand dismissed.
