::1:: SAW-103-02/10.8.2010 D.B.Civil Special Appeal (Writ) No.103/2002 Chiranji Lal Sharma Vs. Rajasthan Housing Board & Anr. 10.8.2010 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Jagdish Bhalla Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr. R.N. Vijay for the appellant with Mr. Chiranji Lal Sharma appellant in person. This appeal has been filed against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 12.4.1999 by which the restoration application was rejected. The writ petition of the appellant-petitioner was dismissed in default on 23.9.1995. The case of the appellant is that since on that day, there was strike of the advocates and he lives at Muzaffarnagar, therefore, neither his counsel nor he could appear before the Court. Thus, it was prayed that this appeal may be allowed and the writ petition be restored to its original number. Despite notice, no one appeared to oppose this appeal. For the reasons stated in the appeal, we find that the non-appearance on behalf of the appellant on 12.4.2009 appears to be bona fide one, and therefore, it is just and proper and in the interest of justice to restore the writ petition to its original number. Accordingly, this appeal is allowed and impugned orders are set aside. The writ petition is ordered to be restored to its original number. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Jagdish Bhalla)C.J. Skant/-
