Heard the parties.
This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.895 of 2022 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory
order dated 13.02.2026.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that Cr.M.P. No.895 of 2022 stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 13.02.2026 for depositing the payment of Rs.2,000/- with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA) peremptorily within four weeks. It is next submitted that due to bona fide mistake on the part of the advocate’s clerk, the petitioner could not deposit the said amount within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.895 of 2022 for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 13.02.2026. It is next submitted that non- compliance of peremptory order dated 13.02.2026 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.895 of 2022 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.895 of 2022 be restored to its original file.
Learned counsel appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 did not raise any serious objection.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the facts of this case, Cr.M.P. No.895 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.895 of 2022 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly.
