Asha Kumari v. State of Himachal Pradesh Cr.MP(M) No. 1469 of 2026 05.08.2026 Present: Mr. N.S. Chandel, Senior Advocate with Mr. Pawan Raj Singh Chandel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Rajan Kahol & Mr. Vishal Panwar, Additional Advocates General and Mr. Ravi Chauhan & Mr. Anish Banshtu, Deputy Advocates General, for the State. Cr.MP(M) No. 1469 of 2026 By way of instant application, prayer has been made by the applicant/petitioner for condonation of delay in maintaining the accompanying petition, which is barred by limitation. Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General while accepting notice on behalf of the respondent- State states that he does not intend to file reply to the application and has no objection in case prayer made in the application is allowed. It appears that Registry while calculating the delay, has failed to subtract the period of 90 days otherwise available for filing Revision, as a result thereof, Criminal Revision Petition has been shown to be barred by 145 days. For the reasons stated in the application, this Court is convinced and satisfied that delay in maintaining the accompanying petition is neither intentional nor willful, rather same has occurred on account of circumstances, which were completely beyond the control of the applicant, as such, delay of 55 days, which has been sufficiently explained, is condoned. Cr. Revision No. of 2026 Be registered. Notice. Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General, waives notice on behalf of the respondent/State. List for admission on 23.9.2026. CrMP No. of 2026 (CrMPST /6598/26) Notice in the aforesaid terms. Till the next date of hearing, further proceedings in police challan No. 537 of 2021 pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh titled as State v. Asha Kumari, shall remain stayed. August 05, 2026 (Sandeep Sharma), manjit Judge
