JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Chandrajit Mukherjee, Advocate For the State : Mr. Vishwanath Roy, Spl.P.P. For the OP 2 : Mr. Raj Kishore Sahu, Advocate ------ Order No:-03 Dated:-13-03-2026 Heard the parties. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by the petitioners with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 01.09.2025. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 01.09.2025 for filing the requisites peremptorily within a week. It is next submitted that due to inadvertence on the part of the Advocate’s Clerk, the petitioners could not file the said requisites within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 01.09.2025. It is next submitted that non-compliance of peremptory order dated 01.09.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioners will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection. Learned counsel for the opposite party No.2 vehemently opposes the prayer of the petitioners for restoration of the said Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 and submits that the opposite party No.2 will unnecessarily be harassed if the same is restored to its original file, hence, the opposite party No.2 be compensated adequately. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 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.5,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party No.2 through his counsel appearing in the record within two weeks from the date of this order. Registry is directed to list Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 before the concerned Bench after two weeks only if the petitioners file the proof of payment of the cost of Rs.5,000/- to the opposite party No.2 through his 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 Cr.M.P. No.2423 of 2025 shall stand dismissed. This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 13/03/2026 Abhiraj/
