This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed at the instance of the petitioners for restoration of Cr.M.P. No. 3017 of 2024 to its original file. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Cr.M.P.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as the Advocate’s Clerk had gone to his native place hence, the petitioner could not file the said requisites in time, which resulted in dismissal of Cr.M.P. No. 3017 of 2024. It is further submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in this case and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that Cr.M.P. No. 3017 of 2024 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 submits that the opposite party has been harassed by the petitioners by delaying the matter, hence, the opposite party be compensated adequately in terms of cost. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, Cr.M.P. No. 3017 of 2024 is directed to be restored to its original file subject to payment of cost of Rs. 5,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party no. 2 through his counsel appearing in the record within four weeks, failing which, this conditional order shall not be given effect to and this criminal miscellaneous petition shall remain dismissed without further reference to the Bench. In case, the petitioners file the proof of payment of Rs. 5,000/- to the opposite party no. 2 through learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 appearing in the record, then Cr.M.P.
