The petitioner submits that he does not have any knowledge that the revision application has been dismissed. Only on in the month of November, 2025 he came to know that the Cr. Revision No.699 of 2023 was dismissed on 03.04.2025. 4. The petitioner received the certified copy of the order dated 03.04.2025 on 24.11.2025 and thereafter, the application for restoration was filed. Though, there was inordinate delay in filing the restoration application, this Court is of the view that when the petitioner is inclined to get the criminal revision disposed of in a contested fashion, he should be given an opportunity. Therefore, the delay in filing the restoration application is allowed and Criminal Revision No. 699 of 2023 is restored to its original file. 5. Cr. Misc. No. 3135 of 2026 stands disposed of. mdrashid/- (Bibek Chaudhuri, J) U T
