p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK ABLAPL No.2313 of 2026 Mangaraj Behera and others …. Petitioner(s) Mr. S. Nayak, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha …. Opp. Party(s) Mr. S. Panigrahi, ASC CORAM: JUSTICE SIBO SANKAR MISHRA Order No. ORDER 21.04.2026 01. 1. Heard. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.1 is the father-in-law of the complainant and petitioner no.2 is the mother-in- law, whereas petitioner no.3 is the husband of the complainant. There is a matrimonial dispute between the wife of petitioner no.3 and the petitioners and, therefore, they apprehend that an FIR might have been lodged by the wife of petitioner no.3. However, no FIR has been placed on record and the number of the FIR also has not been disclosed in any part of the pleadings. 3. Since the matter is arising out of a matrimonial p. 2 dispute, it would be expedient that in the event FIR is lodged, the Arresting Officer shall issue one month prior notice to the petitioners before taking any action against them. 4. With the aforesaid observation, the ABLAPL is disposed of. (S.S. Mishra) Judge Ashok MOHAPATRA
