Nargis, learned counsel for the respondent in the connected review petition. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that due to three consecutive defaults on the part of the earlier counsel for the petitioner in appearing in WP(C) No. 4617 of 2019, the said writ petition was dismissed by order dated 10.03.2026. It is further submitted that the petitioner was not aware of such default on the part of her learned counsel, and upon coming to know of the said order, she has promptly approached this Court by filing the present interlocutory application for restoration of the said writ petition. 3. Although the learned Government Advocate and the learned counsel for the private respondent have opposed the prayer, upon consideration of the cause shown, this Court is inclined to hold that the petitioner has made out sufficient cause for her non-representation when the connected writ petition Page No.# 3/3 was earlier listed. Accordingly, the cause shown is accepted. 4. Resultantly, the order dated 10.03.2026 passed in connection with WP(C) No. 4617 of 2019 stands recalled, and the said writ petition is restored to file. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioner has prayed for restoration of the interim order which was in operation till the dismissal of the writ petition. 6. In view of the subsequent developments, as indicated by the learned Government Advocate, the petitioner is granted liberty to file a fresh interlocutory application seeking interim relief in connection with the restored writ petition. 7. This misc case stands allowed and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
