We investigate the conditional evolution of a charge state coupled to a mesoscopic detector under continuous weak measurement. The state suffers relaxation into a particular state with a definite charge when electrons in a particular output lead are monitored in the detector. The process of the conditional relaxation is not restricted by the shot noise of the detector, unlike the case of the back-action dephasing. As a result, the relaxation of conditional evolution is much faster than the current-sensitive part of dephasing. Furthermore, the direction of the relaxation depends on the choice of the output lead. We propose that these properties can be verified in a two-path interferometer containing a quantum dot capacitively coupled to a detector. In this setup, the current-current correlation between the interferometer and the detector reveals characteristic features of conditional relaxation.
