It is next submitted that this Hon’ble Court was closed from 24.12.2025 till 04.01.2026 for winter vacation and the peremptory period was completed on 26.12.2025 and on that very day also, this Hon’ble Court was closed, hence, the defects could not be removed within the stipulated time which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.1738 of 2024 for non- compliance of the said peremptory order dated 26.11.2025 passed by this Court. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the said peremptory order dated 26.11.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No.1738 of 2024 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P.

Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P.
