JUDGMENT :

S. K. Sahoo, J.

Case No.52 of 1995 in rejecting their application for recalling the order dated 29.04.1995 passed by the learned S.D.J.M. (Sadar), Cuttack in taking cognizance of offences under sections 500, 501 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and issuance of process against them.
