Holding
The appeal dismissed for default is restored to its original file.
Summary
The petitioner, Rajdeo Yadav, filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking restoration of Criminal Appeal (S.J.) No. 4578 of 2019, which had been dismissed for default on 13 January 2026. The appeal pertained to a criminal case arising from PS. Case No. 204 of 2014 in Supaul district. The issue before the court was whether the appeal, dismissed for procedural default, could be reinstated upon a fresh application. The court examined the procedural provisions governing restoration of dismissed appeals and found no impediment to granting relief. Accordingly, the court allowed the petitioner's application and ordered that the appeal be restored to its original file. The order effectively reinstated the appeal for further hearing.
