Hello @shivani24
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your wardrobe door.
I propose re-drilling the mounting holes to a bigger diameter and using https://www.bunnings.com.au/taskmaster-10-x-38mm-timber-dowel-connectors-50-pack_p0290543 to plug the holes in combination with https://www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-100g-liquid-nails-construction-adhesive_p1233743 . Once the glue cures, I suggest cutting the dowels down with a saw and sanding it level with the cabinet wall. You can then re-screw the hinge mounting plate back into its original position.
The second option is to use a https://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-35mm-concealed-hinge-cutter_p6270615 and relocate the hinge to a different position. The damaged holes on the cabinet can then be filled with all-purpose filler.
I also suggest looking at this guide - How to replace kitchen cabinet door hinges
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1, @Nailbag, @TedBear and @JoeAzza for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @shivani24, I agree with @EricL using dowel to repair the area, however, looking at the amount of damage, you could also use Selleys product, it’s an adhesive and filler, follow the instructions on the product, mask around the area to repair, then clean and fill the area with adhesive, scrap or sand the filler level to the board, once fully dry, re drill the hinges in position, hopefully the adhesive will be solid enough to hold the hinge in place, once its finish you can use melamine touch up paint to paint the exposed area.

Good Morning @shivani24
I would remount and cut new holes for the hinge, the amount of damage that has been done in the first pic to the fixing point of the hinge I wouldn't expect to hold for a long period. New attachment points (saw around 5cm lower) would be a better way to secure future issues.

Hi @shivani24
I would fill the holes as suggested joeAzza but then I would use the other two fixing holes in the hinge to offset where the screws go into the wood.
If all else fails, and you don't want to try drilling the door to relocate the hinge, you could consider Cup head bolts drilled through from the other side and then paint over them to match the melamine.
