Patna High Court MJC No.1224 of 2020(2) dt.19-07-2021 2/2 writ petition bearing CWJC No. 16757 of 2018, which has stood dismissed for non-prosecution by an order dated 23.06.2020. The learned senior counsel for the petitioner Shri Ramakant Sharma submits that on account of certain communication gap, the learned counsel for the petitioner could not appear before the Hon'ble Court on the date, the aforesaid case was taken up for hearing, hence the said writ petition has stood dismissed on account of non-prosecution. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned senior counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the averments made in the instant petition, I deem it fit and proper to restore the aforesaid writ petition bearing CWJC No. 16757 of 2018 to its original file.
