Holding
The Court held that the Letters Patent Appeal No. 191 of 2018 may be restored to its original file.
Summary
The State of Bihar and its officials filed an application on 13 March 2026 seeking restoration of Letters Patent Appeal No. 191 of 2018. The appeal had been dismissed for default by the High Court on 11 September 2018. The petition argued that the dismissal was erroneous and that the appeal should be reinstated to its original file. The Court examined the procedural rules governing restoration of dismissed appeals and found no bar to reinstatement where the applicant satisfied the required conditions. Accordingly, the Court allowed the restoration application. LPA No. 191 of 2018 was restored to its original file.
