p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) NO.20812 OF 2025 Jogeswar Mishra …. Petitioner Mr. P.K. Nayak, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha & Others …. Opp.Parties Mr.S.B. Mohanty, AGA CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD ORDER Order No. 01.08.2025 01. 1. Petitioner is knocking at the doors of the Writ Court with the following prayers: “The petitioner therefore humbly prays this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to admit this petition and issue Rule NISI to the opp.parties particularly opp.party no.3 as to why the not recovery 2 daughter of the petitioner and not to take furthis process of the Mic. Case No.11/2024, pending at Sub-Collector Kamakshya Nagar, Dist- Dhenkanal of the petition as Annexure- 1 shall not be considering to and f the opp. Parties fail to file show cause or file insufficient cause then the above RULE be made absolute. And pass any appropriate writ(s) Order(s), direction(s) as think deem fit and proper in the interest of justice and equity.” Though the prayer is loosly drafted, after perusing the petition papers this Court gathers an impression that two daughters of the Petitioner are in the confinement of Opposite Party No.5, who is said to be a spurious ‘Sadhu’. Since no adverse order is being passed against the private Opposite Party, notice to him is dispensed with. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that confinement of daughters is a serious thing and therefore, the p. 2 jurisdictional police and the Revenue Authorities should look into the same in terms of Misc. Case No.11 of 2024 pending before Sub- Collector, Kamakshya Nagar-O.P.3. 3. Learned AGA- Mr. Mohanty appearing for answering Opposite Parties stands tall at the Bar and makes a very fair submission that the jurisdictional authority shall look into the issue and they would swing into action on a war footing. This would satisfy the Petitioner. In the above circumstances and with the above assurance of the authorities given through the learned AGA, writ petition is disposed of. Now, no costs.
