RAJ KUMAR JAIN vs INDRA PRASTHA BUILDERS PVT LTD., .

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders dismissing the application for restoration of the appeal, emphasizing that the absence of counsel was due to non-marking of the case in the cause list. The Court held that the High Court should have considered the affidavit supporting the restoration application and restored the appeal with a condition of heavy costs imposed on the appellants. The appeal was restored to the High Court with a directive for expedited disposal due to the prolonged pendency of over twenty years.
