Holding
The court held that the petitioner’s grounds were sufficient and, in the interest of justice, the case should be restored to its original file.
Summary
The petitioner, Vikrant Kumar, filed a restoration application before the Patna High Court seeking to have Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No. 4456 of 2021 reinstated to its original file. The case had apparently been removed or misplaced, prompting the petitioner to request its restoration for compliance with an earlier order dated 01.02.2022. The primary issue before the court was whether the petitioner had shown sufficient cause to justify restoring the file. The court examined the grounds presented and determined that they were adequate and that restoring the file served the interest of justice. Consequently, the court allowed the restoration application, directing that the case be placed back in its original file for further proceedings.

- What is the appropriate ground for restoring a civil writ case file to its original docket?
- Does the petitioner’s application satisfy the criteria for restoration in the interest of justice?
Subjects
- restoration of case file
- civil writ jurisdiction
- procedural law
