This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed at the instance of the petitioners for restoration of Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022 to its original file. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022 was dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order of depositing Rs.1,000/- with JHALSA. It is next submitted that due to communication gap between the counsel and the petitioners, the said Rs.1,000/- could not be deposited within the stipulated time and the same resulted in dismissal of Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022. It is further submitted that the petitioners have deposited Rs.1,000/- with JHALSA. It is then submitted that non-compliance of peremptory order was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is further submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in this Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022 and unless Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022 is restored to its original file, the petitioners will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submits that the petitioners are 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 and the facts of this cases, Cr.M.P. No. 3972 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 petitioners to the opposite party no.2 through the 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 petitioners file the proof of payment of costs of Rs.10,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party no.2 through the counsel appearing in the record within four weeks, list Cr.M.P. No. 3972 of 2022 under the appropriate heading after a week before the appropriate Bench. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 24.07.2026 Gunjan-
