IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.424 of 2009 REGENT THEATRE, through its Partner, Suman Kumar Sinha, having its Office at East Gandhi Maidan, Patna 800 004. …….. Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. The Additional Collector (Relief), Collectorate, Patna. …….. Respondents. ----------- 2. 5.3.2009 Though in the normal course the courts take lenient view in restoration of cases dismissed for non-prosecution, but in the present case looking at the relief, which was sought for by the petitioner in C.W.J.C. No. 8264 of 1991, the court is not inclined. An advertisement issued in the year 1991 by the respondents was subject matter of challenge. Over a passage of time the said auction notice has lost its meaning because the auction could not be held as the High Court at the time of admission had stayed the impugned notice. The court is not inclined to restore an infructuous application. Therefore, the present restoration application is disallowed and dismissed. However, if any cause of action arises, needless to say the petitioner will be at liberty to approach the court or any competent authority. DKS/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
