Heard the parties.
Though notice has been issued to the opposite party Nos.2 and 3 yet no one turns up on behalf of the opposite party Nos.2 and 3 in spite of repeated calls.
This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.3297 of 2024 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 04.12.2024 passed by this Court.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that Cr.M.P. No.3297 of 2024 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 04.12.2024 passed by this Court to file the requisites of services of notice upon the opposite party Nos.2 and 3. It is next submitted that due to inadvertence, the requisites of service of notice upon the opposite party Nos.2 and 3 could not be filed within the stipulated time, which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.3297 of 2024 for non-compliance of the said peremptory
order dated 04.12.2024 passed by this Court. It is next submitted that non- compliance of the said peremptory order dated 04.12.2024 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.3297 of 2024 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.3297 of 2024 be restored to its original file.
Learned Addl. P. P. appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, Cr.M.P. No.3297 of 2024 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.3297 of 2024 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly.
