Thereafter, a non-bailable warrant of arrest was issued against the Petitioners. Therefore, being aggrieved by such order the Petitioners have approached this Court with a prayer to quash order dated 05.03.2025. 4. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that the trial court has not committed any illegality, however, in the larger interests of justice and in order to provide another opportunity to the Petitioners, this Court deems it proper to set aside the order dated 05.03.2025 by the learned Sessions Judge, Puri in S.T. Case No.605 of 2024, subject to payment of a cost of Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred) by the Petitioners to the Advocates’ Welfare Fund of Local Bar Association within fifteen days and furnishing money receipt thereof in proof of deposit. Further, it is directed that the Petitioners shall appear before the learned Sessions Judge, Puri within two weeks from today along with a copy of today’s order and shall continue to participate in the proceeding without any further default. In the event, the Petitioners make any further default in appearance, it is open to the Court in seisin over the matter to take necessary coercive steps against the Petitioners. 5. In such view of the matter, the CRLMC is allowed. ( A.K. Mohapatra) Judge Anil Designation: Junior Stenographer
