Summary
The petitioners sought restoration of Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No. 8786 of 2011, which had been dismissed for default on 20 June 2011 for failure to comply with a pre‑emptory order dated 17 May 2015. The Patna High Court examined whether a dismissed writ case could be reinstated upon filing a petition and compliance with procedural requirements. The Court held that the petition could be allowed provided the petitioners paid a nominal fee of Rs. 500 to the High Court Legal Services Committee. Consequently, the Court ordered the restoration of CWJC No. 8786 of 2011 to its original file. The order was pronounced by Justice Rajiv Roy on 9 April 2026.
