2. Heard Sri Uma Kant Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Sunil Kumar Mishra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 2 and 3.

3. The question that falls for consideration in this petition is: whether an Execution Application dismissed in default on a day when it is not set down for hearing but for orders or some other proceeding, can be restored with aid of Section 5 of
