Zaid Ahmed, Advocate For the State : Ms. Nehala Sharmin, Spl. P. P. ------ Order No:-03 Dated:-20-03-2026 Heard the parties. This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.12.2025 passed by this Court. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.12.2025 passed by this Court to file the proof of deposit of Rs.1,000/- with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA). It is next submitted that due to engagement of the advocate’s clerk in the treatment of his family member, the said amount could not be deposited within the stipulated time which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 for non-compliance of the said peremptory order dated 11.12.2025 passed by this Court. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the said peremptory order dated 11.12.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 be restored to its original file. Learned Spl.P.P. appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 is directed to be restored to its original file at the same stage at which it was before its dismissal. Registry is directed to list Cr.M.P. No.2745 of 2025 before the concerned Bench after a week. This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated- 20.03.2026-Animesh/
