CRMPM-629 of 2026 Pursuant to Dasti notice issued in terms of order dated 28.04.2026, Mr. Rakesh Chauhan, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of respondent. While praying for time to file Power of Attorney, he fairly states that he does not intend to file reply to the application and same can be disposed of on its own merits. Having carefully perused the averments contained in the application, which are duly supported by an affidavit, this Court finds no impediment in accepting the prayer, especially when delay caused in maintaining accompanying criminal appeal does not appear to be intentional or willful, rather same has occurred on account of circumstances, which were completely beyond the control of the applicant, as such, the same deserves to be condoned. In view of above, delay, which has been otherwise sufficiently explained is condoned. The application is disposed of. Cr. Revision No. _______ of 2026 Be registered.
