VIRINDER AGGARWAL , J . (Oral)

1. Invoking the supervisory jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners assail the concurrent orders dated 12.07.2019 (Annexure A-I) and 04.09.2019 (Annexure A-II). The Petitioners contend that the learned Trial Court and the First Appellate Court committed a manifest error of law in refusing to restore the suit, resulting in a failure of justice. The Petitioners seek to quash the impugned orders on the grounds that they are perverse, jurisdictionally flawed, and contrary to the settled principles of procedural equity.

2. The petitioners (Original Plaintiffs) instituted a civil suit for ₹
