Nos.5 to 12 : Mr. Akhouri Prakhar Sinha, Advocate Mr. Aman Kedia, Advocate ------ Order No:-03 Dated:-03-07-2026 Heard the parties. This civil miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioners with the prayer for restoration of W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-prosecution on 25.07.2025 by this Court. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 stood dismissed for non-prosecution on 25.07.2025 by this Court. It is next submitted that the counsel for the petitioners could not mark the case in the list, hence, no one appeared before this Court when the said W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 was called out resulting in dismissal of the said W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 for non-prosecution. It is next submitted that non- prosecution before this Court on 25.07.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in the said W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioners will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the opposite party Nos.5 to 12 vehemently opposes the prayer of the petitioners for restoration of the said W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 and submits that the opposite party Nos.5 to 12 will unnecessarily be harassed if the same is restored to its original file, hence, the opposite party Nos.5 to 12 be compensated adequately. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 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.10,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party Nos.5 to 12 through their counsel appearing in the record within four weeks from the date of this order. Registry is directed to list W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 before the concerned Bench after four weeks only if the petitioner files the proof of payment of the cost of Rs.10,000/- to the opposite party Nos.5 to 12 though their counsel appearing in the record within four weeks from the date of this order failing which this conditional order shall not be given effect to and W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 shall remain dismissed. Registry is directed to list W.P. (C) No.1863 of 2016 before the concerned Bench after a week. This civil miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated-03.07.2026-Animesh/
