[through VC] For the Opp. Party : None ------ Order No:-07 Dated:-24-07-2026 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. No one turns up on behalf of the sole opposite party in spite of repeated calls though the notice has validly been served upon the sole opposite party. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.2461 of 2021 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.04.2025. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Cr.M.P. No.2461 of 2021 was dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.04.2025. It is next submitted that the petitioner was directed to file requisites for service of notice to the opposite party by registered post with A/D as well as under process of the court within two weeks from the date of that order but due to inadvertence, the said requisites could not be filed within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of Cr.M.P. No.2461 of 2021 for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.04.2025. It is further submitted that non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 11.04.2025 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.2461 of 2021 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.2461 of 2021 be restored to its original file. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No.2461 of 2021 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.2461 of 2021 before the appropriate Bench after a week. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated:- 24.07.2026 Saroj/
