IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2652 of 1995 KAMLA KANT JHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 8. 18.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. CWJC No. 4095 of 1986 was filed against the orders passed in a land encroachment proceeding. The writ application was dismissed for non-prosecution on 21.11.1995. An application for restoration was filed on 30.11.1995. The restoration application remained pending since then. This Court by order dated 24.5.2007 had required the petitioner to file an affidavit as to what steps were taken by him to pursue the matter after having filed the restoration application. The affidavit in support thereof has been appended at flag ‘L’. The affidavit is vague, unsatisfactory and contains no details of dates etc. to satisfy this Court that the petitioner pursued the matter diligently, when he appears to have woken up in the year 2007. This Court is not persuaded to allow this belated application for restoration. It is, accordingly, dismissed. The dismissal of this application for restoration refusing to revive CWJC No. 4095 of 1986 shall not inhibit or prejudice the petitioner in any manner in any civil remedy that may pursue or be instituted by him, which shall have to be decided on its own merits in accordance with law.
