Summary

Gunnu Yadav filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking restoration of Civil Revision No. 30 of 2023, which had been dismissed on 19 December 2023 for want of prosecution. The petitioner argued that the dismissal was premature and that there were sufficient reasons to revive the proceeding. The respondent, the Chief Executive Officer of the Bihar State Shia Waqf Board, opposed the restoration.
