No.2 : None ------ Order No:-04 Dated:-18-09-2026 Heard the parties. Though notice has validly been 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 petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.2551 of 2024 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 13.01.2026 passed by this Court. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that Cr.M.P. No.2551 of 2024 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 13.01.2026 passed by this Court to file proof of deposit of Rs.1,000/- by the petitioner with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA). It is next submitted that the advocate’s clerk tried to contact the petitioner but he could not be contacted within the stipulated time to get the said deposit done, hence, the said proof could not be deposited within the stipulated time which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.2551 of 2024 for non-compliance of the said peremptory order dated 13.01.2026 passed by this Court. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the said peremptory order dated 13.01.2026 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.2551 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.2551 of 2024 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection. Considering the facts of this case and the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No.2551 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.2551 of 2024 before the concerned Bench after a week. This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated-18.09.2026-Animesh/
