06. 1. This CRLMC has been filed challenging the order dated
01.11.2011 as well as the proceeding in I.C.C. Case No. 134 of 2011 in the Court of the learned S.D.J.M., Angul.
2. On 01.11.2011 is an order where cognizance of offences has been taken by a reasoned order of the offences under Sections 420, 466, 468, 166, 219 of IPC and notice has been issued to the Petitioner for his appearance.
3. Perusal of the case record reveals that notice in this application had been issued on 06.12.2011 and further proceedings in I.C.C. Case No. 134 of 2011 pending before the learned S.D.J.M., Angul had been stayed. The CRLMC was dismissed for default on 08.04.2022 and has thereafter been restored by order dated 09.05.2024.
