JUDGMENT :
Aditya Kumar Mohapatra, J.
1. Head the learned counsel for the Petitioner, learned counsel for the Opposite Party No.2-Informant, and learned counsel for the State. Perused the application as well as the prayer made therein.
2. The present application has been filed by the Accused- Petitioner in G.R. Case No.23 of 2023 pending before the learned J.M.F.C., Dhamnagar, which arises out of Dhamnagar P.S. Case No.12 of 2023, for quashing of the impugned order dated 04.01.2025 passed by the learned J.M.F.C., Dhamnagar in G.R.

The court upheld the legality of the order on charge dated 17.08.2020 and set aside the order dated 29.03.2023 to re-call the witnesses and PW-2 for examination.
