Though, notice has validly been served upon the opposite party no.2, but 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.3016 of 2018 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 11.06.2025. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that Cr.M.P. No.3016 of 2018 stood dismissed for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 11.06.2025 for non-filing the supplementary affidavit within the peremptory time period of two weeks. It is next submitted that due to inadvertence, the petitioner could not file the said supplementary affidavit within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.3016 of 2018 for non-compliance of peremptory order dated 11.06.2025. It is next submitted that non- compliance of peremptory order dated 11.06.2025 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.3016 of 2018 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.3016 of 2018 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, Cr.M.P. No.3016 of 2018 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.3016 of 2018 before the concerned Bench after a week. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 20/03/2026 Abhiraj/
