WPMS No. 3729 of 2001 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Mr. G.C. Kandpal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sudhir Kumar, Brief Holder for the State. An order of eviction was passed by the Prescribed Authority under the U.P. Public Premises (Eviction of Un-authorised Occupants) Act, 1972. The petitioner preferred an appeal which was dismissed for want of prosecution. Restoration application was filed which was rejected by the District Judge by an order dated 27/09/1991, against which, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, this Court finds that the restoration application was filed within the period of limitation. The Court should have been liberal and should have allowed the restoration application and should have heard the restoration application on merit rather than dismissing the said application on the ground that sufficient cause has not been shown. In my view, sufficient grounds had been made out by the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid, the impugned order cannot be sustained and is quashed. The writ petition is allowed. The matter is remitted to the appellate authority to decide the appeal on merits. A certified copy of the order shall be sent by the Registry to the appellate court within two weeks from today for necessary information and action. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) Dated 27.07.2010 Shiv
