Heard learned Counsel for the parties. 2. This is an application preferred by the applicant (original petitioner) for restoration of Criminal Writ Petition No. 304/2010, by setting aside the order dated 18-4-2011 passed by this Court, dismissing the said petition in default. 3. For the reasons stated in the application, it appears that the applicant has pleaded and proved sufficient ground for not causing appearance of the Advocate engaged by him, on 18-4-2011, due to which Criminal Writ Petition No. 304/2010 came to be dismissed in default on the said date. It also appears that the absence of applicant and his Advocate on the said date was not wilful and deliberate. Hence, the present application deserves to be allowed in the interest of justice. 4. In the result, present Criminal Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause "B" thereof, and Criminal Writ Petition No. 304/2010 stands restored to file at its original stage, by (3) setting aside order dated 18-4-2011, and present Criminal Application stands disposed of accordingly.
