Holding
The appeal is restored as the applicant demonstrated sufficient cause.
Summary
Dharmesh Chandubhai Sharma filed a criminal appeal (No. 1431/2022) against the State of Gujarat. The appeal had been dismissed or otherwise not proceeded, prompting Sharma to file an application for restoration (R/Cr. Misc. Application No. 16092/2026). The applicant, through counsel Aafrin Saiyed, argued that sufficient cause existed to warrant restoration of the appeal. The respondent, represented by Mr. Ronak Rawal, opposed the restoration. Justice Sanjeev J. Thaker, after considering the submissions, found that the applicant had indeed shown sufficient cause and allowed the restoration. The registry was directed to restore the matter on its original file with all attached orders, and the application was disposed.
