This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed at the instance of the petitioners for restoration of CrMP no. 1486 of 2024 to its original file. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the CrMP no. 1486 of 2024 was dismissed vide order dated 22.09.2025 for non-compliance of order of removing the defects within the peremptory time. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that due to inadvertence, the said order could not be complied in time, which resulted in dismissal of CrMP no. 1486 of 2024. It is further submitted that the petitioners have very good grounds to agitate in this case and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that CrMP no. 1486 of 2024 be restored to its original file. Learned Spl. P.P. has no serious objection for the prayer for restoration but learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 submits that the opposite party no. 2 has been harassed by the petitioners by delaying the matter, hence, the opposite party no. 2 be compensated adequately in terms of cost. Considering the facts of the case and the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, CrMP no. 1486 of 2024 is directed to be restored to its original file subject to payment of cost of Rs. 5,000/- by the petitioners to the opposite party no. 2 through his counsel appearing in the record within two weeks, failing which, this conditional order shall not be given effect to and this criminal miscellaneous petition shall remain dismissed without further reference to the Bench. In case, the petitioners file the proof of payment of Rs. 5,000/- to the opposite party no. 2 through learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 appearing in the record, then CrMP no. 1486 of 2024 be restored to its original file and CrMP no. 1486 of 2024 be listed after a week of the said payment before the appropriate bench.
