The court restored the dismissed civil writ jurisdiction case subject to payment of Rs.500 to the Legal Services Committee.
Summary
Ajit Kumar Singh, Vijay Kumar Singh and Urmila Singh filed a petition seeking restoration of Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.11589 of 2025, which had been dismissed for non‑prosecution on 5 August 2025. The respondents were the State of Bihar and several revenue officials. The High Court examined whether the dismissal could be set aside and the case reinstated. Relying on reasons set out in the judgment (paragraphs 5 to 8), the Court allowed the petition, directing the petitioners to pay a nominal fee of Rs.500 to the Legal Services Committee. Consequently, the dismissed writ case was restored to its original file.
