Can a dismissed matter be reinstated?

(in India) Matters are generally dismissed on two grounds. Dismissal of matter after considering the merits of the matter. Another type of dismissal is dismissal for want of prosecution of matter on the part of the Plaintiff. If, the matter is dismissed on merits, the course left open is to prefer an appeal, if provided under the scheme of the procedural statute. If, the matter is dismissed for want of prosecution and not on merits, such matter can be restored to file under the provisions of procedural law. For further research and study, please refer to the Indian Code of Civil Procedure, 1809

The proper use of Word should "restoration" and not "reinstated" as used in the question.

ANOTHER VIEW: (in the US) Criminal charges can be dismissed by a judge in one of two ways.

Dismissal WITH Prejudice and Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice.

If a case is dismissed WITH prejudice it means that the defendant cannot ever be re-charged with that same offense again.

Dismissal WITHOUT prejudice means that the defendant MAY (at the option of the prosecution) be re-charged again for the same offense.

In the first example, the defendant is "home free."

But in the second example it cannot be certain that they won't be re-charged, because that option IS available to the prosecutor.
