Summary
Arbind Dhanuk filed an application seeking restoration of Criminal Miscellaneous No. 71260 of 2024, which had been dismissed for failure to comply with a peremptory order dated 11 November 2024. The petitioner argued that the dismissal was premature and that compliance could be achieved promptly. The court examined whether a dismissed criminal miscellaneous proceeding could be reinstated upon a fresh application and compliance with the original order. It held that the court has the discretion to restore the case to its original file, provided the petitioner complies with the peremptory order within a stipulated time. Accordingly, the application was allowed and the case was restored subject to compliance within one week.
