ORDER 30.03.2026
01.
(Through hybrid mode)
1. This CRLMP has been filed for a direction to the Opposite Party Nos.2 and 3 to register the FIR under Annexure-1 and investigate the matter by arresting the accused persons who have been named in the FIR within a stipulated period and provide p. 2 security to the Petitioner and his family members during harvest of cashew nuts. Allegations have also been made that the Opposite Parties No.4 to 15 are members of a Naxal organization who harass poor farmers and they were harassing and threatening the Petitioner at the time of harvesting of cashew crops.
2. Perused the averments in the CRLMP as well as the Annexures. Annexure-1 which is the complaint dated 26.03.2025 and Annexure-2 is a petition addressed to the Superintendent of Police, Gajapati dated 29.03.2025 and sent to him on the same day.
3. Considering the nature of the allegations and the date on which the Petition has been sent to the Superintendent of Police, Gajapati, I am not satisfied that this is a fit case to exercise discretionary power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct the Opposite Party Nos.2 and 3 to register a case on the written complaint of the Petitioner after almost one year.
4. The CRLMP is accordingly dismissed.
