Subas Chandra Pradhan, father of the Petitioner had filed a petition for assisting him during harvesting season of kharif crop from his land for which IIC along with one platoon force and Tahasildar, Odagaon remained present during the harvesting of kharif paddy from his cultivated lands. This was being opposed by the co-villagers of Magarabandha.
