3. On 23.06.2025, the Trial Court found that the petitioner, having instituted CR Case No.72/2022, remained absent on 3(three) dates without taking steps. Therefore, the Trial Court dismissed the case on account of non-prosecution
4. Today, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner resides outside India and therefore he had to suffer prejudice.
5. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and the circumstances of the case.
6. Since the petitioner wants to prosecute the case, one single opportunity deserves to be given to the petitioner.
7. Therefore, the impugned Order dated 23.06.2025, passed in CR Case No.72/2022, passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hojai, stands set aside.
8. The petitioner is directed to appear before the Trial Court on 11.05.2026 to prosecute the case; if he fails to appear, the Trial Court shall have the liberty to act accordingly.
9. With the aforesaid direction, this Criminal Petition stands disposed of.
