@JUDGMENTTAG-ORDER
S.S. Dhavan, J.@mdashThis is an application for a re-hearing of the second appeal. The only ground is that counsel''s name was not printed in the
cause list. But it is conceded that all the other particulars were given in the list -- the names of the parties, the number of the case, and the name of
the appellant''s counsel. A copy of the extract of the cause list has not been filed. Learned counsel argued that a counsel is entitled as of right to
have his name printed in the cause list and if a name is not so printed, he can claim a re-hearing on the ground that he had no notice of the date of
hearing. I cannot agree. The cause list is printed by the Bar Association. The office of this Court puts up a list in the evening containing full
particulars of every case to be heard on the following day. The applicant hap not alleged in hip affidavit that the list put up by the office omitted the
name of Mr. Kakkar. Furthermore, the application is beyond time by 539 days and there is no satisfactory explanation for this delay.
2. Lastly, the judgment appears to be correct on merits. At any rate, learned counsel was not able to point out any error in it. He frankly conceded
that he was pressing the application on the ground of want of notice to the counsel and had not considered the merits of the judgment. In my
opinion, an applicant who asks for the restoration of a case on the ground that it has been decided against him without notice must satisfy the court
that there has been a miscarriage of justice and should establish a prima facie case that a re-hearing is likely to result in a different decision. The
Court is not bound to restore the case if it is satisfied that its decision is sound and will be confirmed on re-hearing. In such circumstances the re-
hearing will be a farce and a waste of time.
3. The application is rejected.
