Patna High Court LPA No.887 of 2017(12) dt.02-01-2019 2/3 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN) 02-01-2019 While the Letters Patent Appeal stands rejected as against the respondent no.7 for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 20.06.2018 whereby the appellant was directed to furnish requisites etc. for service of notice on respondent no.7, MJC No. 5048 of 2018 has been filed for restoration of the appeal as against the respondent no.7 with submission that the requisites have since been filed by the appellant on 18.12.2018.
Mr. Rajeev Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of appellant-petitioner submits that though there has been a lapse on behalf of appellant-petitioner in carrying out the peremptory order but the same has since been carried out, albeit with some delay which may be condoned.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties on the restoration application arising from MJC No.5048 of 2018 and having considered the submissions so advanced, we are persuaded to allow the furnishing of requisites for issuance of notice on respondent no.7 which has since been filed on 18.12.2018 as reported by Mr. Singh and taking note of the
Patna High Court LPA No.887 of 2017(12) dt.02-01-2019 3/3 circumstances we would extend the peremptory period as present in the order dated 20.06.2018 until 18.12.2018. Since the requisites have been filed, the appeal would stand restored to its original file as against respondent no.7. MJC No. 5048 of 2018 is allowed.
Office is directed to issue notice to respondent no.7 and put up the appeal after service of notice/appearance of respondent no.7 or on 13.02.2019 whichever is earlier under the appropriate heading.
