¶15

Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners.

¶16

It is seen from the records that on 25.07.2017, this civil revision petition was dismissed for non-prosecution. Subsequently, on 30.10.2017, the civil revision petition was restored to file, but, the civil miscellaneous petition in C.M.P.(MD)No.6785 of 2017 was not restored. However, the petitioners have got an order of https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ interim stay from this Court in the said civil miscellaneous petition on 14.11.2017, as if both the civil revision petition as

¶17

well as the civil miscellaneous petition were restored. The said interim order was subsequently extended until further orders, however, the petitioners did not choose to disclose the fact that the civil miscellaneous petition was not restored.

¶18

Thereafter, due to non-appearance on behalf of the petitioners, the matter was directed to be listed under the caption 'for dismissal' and even after the same, there was no representation on behalf of the petitioners and hence, the civil revision petition was dismissed for non-prosecution on 19.01.2018 and now, the present miscellaneous petition is filed seeking restoration for the second time and this time, for both C.R.P.(MD)No.1377 of 2017 and C.M.P. (MD)No.6785 of 2017.

¶19

Considering the circumstances of the case and considering the reasons stated in the affidavit filed in support of the petition, this Court is of the view that one more opportunity shall be given to the petitioners to put forth their case, on terms.

¶20

In result, this petition is ordered and accordingly, C.R.P. (MD)No.1377 of 2017 and C.M.P.(MD)No.6785 of 2017 are restored to file, on condition that the petitioners shall pay a sum of Rs.2,000/- (Two Thousand only), to the Legal Aid Services Authority attached to this Bench, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of the copy of this order, failing which, this petition shall stand dismissed automatically without further reference to this Court.

¶21
