RANCHI, India, Jan. 20 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on Dec. 19:
Heard the parties.
This civil miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of W.P.(C) No.1970 of 2018 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the order dated 13.06.2024.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that W.P.(C) No.1970 of 2018 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the order dated 13.06.2024. It is next submitted that due to non-communication with the petitioner, the learned counsel for the petitioner could not deposit Rs.1,000/- by the petitioner with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA) within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said W.P.(C) No.1970 of 2018 for non-compliance of the order dated 13.06.2024. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the said order dated 13.06.2024 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said W.P.(C) No.1970 of 2018 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the W.P.(C) No.1970 of 2018 be restored to its original file.
Learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties has not raised any serious objection.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the facts and circumstances of this case, W.P.(C) No.1970 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 W.P.(C) No.1970 of 2018 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This Civil Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly.
