-----------Advocate for : MR. U B SARMA Advocate for : appearing for PADMA NATH SARMA AND ORS
BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ROBIN PHUKAN
ORDER
Date : 08.11.2024
Heard Mr. U. B. Sarma, learned counsel for the applicants and also heard Mr. P.K. Kalita, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Mr. A. Talukdar, learned counsel for all the respondents.
This application, under Order IX Rule 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 is preferred by the applicants for restoration of RSA No. 122/2013, which was dismissed for non prosecution vide order dated 05.01.2024.
Mr. Sarma, submits that on 05.01.2024, in the cause-list the name of the counsel for the appellants were not reflected in the cause-list for which listing of the case on that day go unnoticed and the said non representation of the appellant is not intentional or rather it is circumstantial and therefore it is contended to restore the RSA No. 122/2013 to re-file.
Having heard the submissions of learned advocates of both the parties and also considering the facts and circumstances on the record and the grounds assigned for non representation of the appellants on that day, this Court is inclined to accept the same and accordingly the RSA No. 122/2013 stands restored to file.
Page No.# 9/9
