Heard the parties.
This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of B.A. No.58 of 2026 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory
order dated 23.04.2026.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that B.A. No.58 of 2026 stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 23.04.2026 for depositing the payment of Rs.1,000/- with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA) peremptorily within four weeks. It is next submitted that due to lack of proper communication between the learned counsel and the petitioner, the petitioner could not deposit the said amount within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said B.A. No.58 of 2026 for non- compliance of peremptory order dated 23.04.2026. It is next submitted that non-compliance of peremptory order dated 23.04.2026 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said B.A. No.58 of 2026 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the B.A. No.58 of 2026 be restored to its original file.
Learned counsel appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the facts of this case, B.A. No.58 of 2026 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 B.A. No.58 of 2026 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly.
