Hence in terms of the judgment dated 25.08.2025 passed in Sri Sugyan Choudhury’s case (supra), this Court holds that the present Review Petition is not maintainable. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. However, liberty is granted to the State-Petitioner to seek further remedy before any other forum, if so advised. ( A.K. Mohapatra ) Judge Rubi
