No. 3507 of 2023. It is further submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in this Cr.M.P. No. 3507 of 2023 and unless Cr.M.P. No. 3507 of 2023 is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that Cr.M.P. No. 3507 of 2023 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submits that the petitioner is deliberately delaying the matter and harassing the opposite party no.2 by lingering the same. Hence, the opposite party no.2 be adequately compensated with costs. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No. 3507 of 2023 is restored to its original file to the stage at which, it was before its dismissal subject to payment of costs of Rs.2,000/- by the petitioner to the opposite party no.2 through the 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 stand dismissed without further reference to the Bench. In case, the petitioner files the proof of payment of costs of Rs.2,000/- by the petitioner to the opposite party no.2 through the counsel appearing in the record within two weeks, list Cr.M.P. No. 3507 of 2023 under the appropriate heading after a week before the appropriate Bench. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 01.05.2026 Gunjan-
