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.150 of 2018 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the order dated 21.03.2024.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that W.P.(C). No.150 of 2018 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the order dated 21.03.2024. It is next submitted that due to inadvertent mistake on the part of the Advocate's Clerk, 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.150 of 2018 for noncompliance of the order dated 21.03.2024. It is next submitted that noncompliance of the said order dated 21.03.2024 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.150 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.150 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 and circumstances of this case, W.P.(C). No.150 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.150 of 2018 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This Civil Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly.
