This matter is taken up through hybrid arrangement. 2. The Petitioner has filed this CRLMC with a prayer to quash the criminal proceeding including the FIR in P.S. Case No.247 of 2025 corresponding to C.T Case No.553 of 2025 pending in the Court of the learned SDJM, Balasore. 3. Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the allegations made against the petitioner are false and baseless. The evidence does not support the same. The allegations levelled in the FIR are wholly false, fabricated, baseless, and imaginary, and have been cooked up by the Opposite Parties solely with the mala fide intention to harass, defame, and malign the reputation of the Digitally Signed Signed by: GITANJALI NAYAK Reason: Authentication Location: OHC Date: 30-Jan-2026 10:25:40 Signature Not Verified 2 Petitioner. He further submits that in the meantime, charge sheet has already been filed against the Petitioner. 4.

Accordingly, the CRLMC stands dismissed. 6. Interim order passed earlier stands vacated. (Dr. Sanjeeb K Panigrahi) Judge Gitanjali
