JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Sujit Kumar Singh, Advocate Ms. Saba Ali, Advocate For the State : Mr. Prabhu Dayal Agrawal, Spl.P.P. For the O.P. No.2 : None ------ Order No:-03 Dated:-31-07-2026 Heard the parties. Though notice has been validly served upon the opposite party No.2 yet no one turns up on behalf of the opposite party No.2 in spite of repeated calls. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by the petitioners with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No. 2948 of 2022 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 22.03.2024. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Cr.M.P. No. 2948 of 2022 was dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 22.03.2024. It is next submitted that the petitioners were directed to file requisites for service of notice upon the opposite party No.2 by registered post with A/D as well as under process of the court within four weeks from the date of that order; failing which, that Cr.M.P. was to stand dismissed without further reference to the Bench but inadvertently, the said requisites could not be filed within the stipulated period; which resulted in dismissal for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 22.03.2024. It is further submitted that non- compliance of the peremptory order dated 22.03.2024 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No. 2948 of 2022 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioners will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No. 2948 of 2022 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the State has not raised any serious objection to the prayer of the petitioners. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, Cr.M.P. No. 2948 of 2022 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. 2948 of 2022 before the appropriate Bench after a week. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated:- 31.07.2026 Saroj/
