Simariya, District Chatra, Jharkhand. … Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Jharkhand 2. Yugal Kishore Prasad, S/O Miran Prasad, R/O Village Amgawa, P.O. Sila, P.S. Simariya, District Chatra, Jharkhand. … Opposite Parties ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rishu Ranjan, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shailendra Kr. Tiwari, Spl.P.P. For the O.P. No.2 : None ------ Order No:-03 Dated:-24-07-2026 Heard the parties. No one turns up on behalf of the opposite party No.2 in spite of repeated calls though the notice has validly been served upon the opposite party No.2. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.2731 of 2024 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 18.10.2024. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Cr.M.P. No.2731 of 2024 was dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 18.10.2024. It is next submitted that the petitioner was directed to remove the defects pointed out by the Stamp Reporter within two weeks from the date of that order and the petitioner was also directed to file requisites for service of notice upon the opposite party No.2 by registered post with A/D as well as under ordinary process within two weeks from the date of that order but the petitioner removed the defects including filing of typed copies of the required pages and inadvertently, the typed copies of few pages were missed out; which resulted in dismissal for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 18.10.2024. It is further submitted that non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 18.10.2024 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.2731 of 2024 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.2731 of 2024 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the State has not raised any serious objection to the prayer of the petitioner. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No.2731 of 2024 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.2731 of 2024 before the appropriate Bench after a week. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated:- 24.07.2026 Saroj/
