JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rohit Ranjan Sinha, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Priya Shrestha, Spl. P.P. For the O.P. No.2 : Ms. Aulia Begum, Advocate ------ Order No.04 Dated- 03.07.2026 Heard the parties. This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed at the instance of the petitioner for restoration of Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 to its original file. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 was dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order of this Court dated 22.12.2025, passed in the said Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 whereby the petitioner was directed to deposit Rs.4,000/- with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA). It is next submitted that though the learned counsel for the petitioner communicated to his advocate’s clerk about the peremptory order dated 22.12.2025 and also directed to deposit the aforesaid amount but he missed to deposit the same, resulting in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the said order dated 22.12.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is further submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 and unless Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submits that the petitioner is deliberately delaying the matter and harassing the opposite party no.2 by lingering the same. Hence, the opposite party no.2 be adequately compensated with costs. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 is restored to its original file to the stage at which, it was before its dismissal subject to payment of costs of Rs.10,000/- by the petitioner to the opposite party no.2 through the learned 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 stand dismissed without further reference to the Bench. In case, the petitioner files the proof of payment of costs of Rs.10,000/- by the petitioner to the opposite party no.2 through the learned counsel appearing in the record within four weeks, list Cr.M.P. No. 2811 of 2022 under the appropriate heading after a week before the appropriate Bench. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 03.07.2026 Sonu-
