The application, as such, requires no consideration and stands dismissed. However, despite dismissal of the condonation application, registry is directed to diarize the restoration application filed by the applicant and list the same for consideration. With the above, this application stands disposed of. Judge Meghalaya 17.11.2025 “Shrity,PS” 2025:MLHC:1096 Digitally signed by SHRITY CH MOMIN Date: 2025.11.17 16:35:56 IST
