Order No:-12 Dated:-14-08-2026
Heard the parties.
Learned counsel for the petitioner’s drawing attention of this Court to the Supplementary Affidavit submits that since the substituted service of notice by publishing the content of the notice in the daily newspaper- Prabhat Khabar, Hazaribagh Edition dated 30.06.2026 has been made. Hence, the service of notice upon the opposite party no.05 to 12 & 14 is sufficient. No one turns up on behalf of the opposite party no.05 to 12 & 14 in spite of repeated calls.
This civil miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioners with the prayer for restoration of Second Appeal No.86 of 2007 to its original file; which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the order dated
28.07.2022.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that Second Appeal No.86 of 2007 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the
order dated 28.07.2022. It is next submitted that due to inadvertent mistake on the part of the Advocate’s Clerk, the learned counsel for the petitioners could not pay Rs.1,000/- to the learned counsel for the opposite parties appearing in the record within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said Second Appeal No.86 of 2007 for non- compliance of the order dated 28.07.2022. It is next submitted that non- compliance of the said order dated 28.07.2022 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in the said Second Appeal No.86 of 2007 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioners will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Second Appeal No.86 of 2007 be restored to its original file.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the facts and circumstances of this case, Second Appeal
No.86 of 2007 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 Second Appeal No.86 of 2007 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This Civil Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly.
