IA No.: CAN 7 of 2025 This is an application for restoration and/or recalling the order dated 1st December, 2025. Having heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties and upon perusal of the explanation given for the absence of the learned advocate on behalf of the appellants on 1st December, 2025, when the matter was dismissed for default, we are satisfied that the explanation constitutes sufficient cause which prevented the appellants from appearing in Court on that date. Accordingly, the order dated 1st December, 2025 is recalled. The application, being IA No.: CAN 7 of 2025 is disposed of.

The appeal, being MAT 1138 of 2019 and the connected application, being IA No.: CAN 5 of 2021 are restored to their original files and numbers.

List this appeal and its connected application for final hearing in the combined monthly list of March, 2026. (Partha Sarathi Chatterjee, J.) (Tapabrata Chakraborty, J.)
