It is next submitted that non-prosecution before this Court on 03.12.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No.3094 of 2022 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No.3094 of 2022 be restored to its original file. Learned counsel appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection. Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the facts of this case, Cr.M.P.

No.3094 of 2022 before the concerned Bench after a week. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is disposed of accordingly. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) 11/09/2026 Abhiraj/
