Hi @Shyam Koppu 

There is no option to restore a story in Jira if you don't have a backup. You can only see the info about the deleted issue in the audit log.

The things you can do to prevent losing deleted tasks in the future:

- Disable permission for the regular users and allow it to admins only.

- Back up your projects. 

- Get the app from the Atlassian Marketplace. 

I can recommend Issue History for Jira, the add-on developed by my team. It has the option to recover deleted tasks. But it works only after the app is installed and the "Keep deleted issues" toggle is activated.
