Mr. S.K.Laddi, Advocate for Mr. A.S.Jatana, Advocate for the respondent. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) In the present revision petition, challenge is to the order dated 24.7.1996, whereby the complaint was dismissed in default due to non presence of the complainant and his counsel. It has been stated by Mr. Cheema that the case was fixed for issuance of the process of summons of accused and, therefore, the learned trial Court ought to have granted opportunity to the complainant by adjourning the matter. It has been further stated by Mr. Cheema that absence was not wilful and due to bonafide mistake complainant could not appear. In case complaint is not restored, petitioner will suffer an Criminal Revision No.810 of 1996 2 irreparable loss. Since the matter has not been decided on merits, I deem is appropriate to restore the complaint subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge February 20, 2008 “DK”
