This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P.

No.1695 of 2026 stood dismissed for non-prosecution on 16.06.2026 by this Court. It is next submitted that the counsel for the petitioner could not mark the case in the list, hence, no one appeared before this Court when the said Cr.M.P. No.1695 of 2026 was called out resulting in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.1695 of 2026 for non-prosecution. It is next submitted that non-prosecution before this Court on 16.06.2026 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.1695 of 2026 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that Cr.M.P. No.1695 of 2026 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 petitioner, Cr.M.P. No.1695 of 2026 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.1695 of 2026 before the concerned Bench after a week. This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated-03.07.2026-Animesh/
