4.
Learned counsel for the Petitioner is aggrieved by the condition no.(i) imposed by the learned Special Judge (Vigilance), Jeypore vide order dated 20.12.2022 while enlarging the Petitioner on bail. The condition reads as under:
“(i) That she shall appear before this court on each date of posting till its conclusion without fail.” Digitally Signed Signed by: SIPUN BEHERA Reason: Authentication Location: HIGH COURT OF ORISSA, CUTTACK Date: 20-May-2026 11:35:24 Signature Not Verified p. 2 5.
Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner is a resident of Bhubaneswar whereas the Vigilance case against her is going on at Jeypore, which is more than 500 kilometers away. Therefore, it is difficult on her part to attend the Court on each and every date of the hearing of the case. He further submits that as and when the physical presence of the Petitioner is required before the Court below, she shall appear before the Court without fail. Hence, he seeks variation of the condition No.(i) as reproduced above.
6. Regard being had to the submissions made by the
learned counsel for the parties at the Bar, the condition no.(i) as reproduced above is modified to the extent that she shall appear before the Court on each date of posting till its conclusion without fail, she shall appear before the Court below physically or through the video conferencing mode depending upon the nature of the hearing of the case.
7. Accordingly, the CRLMC stands disposed of.
