IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11396 of 2008 SUMAN SINGH . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR . ---------- 2/ 23/04/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. On perusal of the impugned order dated 2.2.2008 in Cr. Revision No.103/07 it appears that no one had appeared on behalf of the petitioner despite repeated call. The criminal revision came to be dismissed on an ex parte hearing after considering the submissions of the Public Prosecutor. In the pleadings in this application under Section-482 Cr.P.C. no explanation has been given as to why the petitioner did not appear to press the revision application. However, in order to enable a decision on merits, which is more desirable, this court considers it proper to set aside the order in criminal revision No.103/07 dated 2.2.2008, but subject to payment of costs of Rs.1000/- to be deposited before Patna High Court Legal Services Committee within one week and proof of deposit furnished before the court below. Let the criminal revision application be heard afresh after grant of opportunity to the petitioner and disposed off by a reasoned and 2 speaking order within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed with the aforesaid directions. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
