JUDGMENT :
1. The Writ Petition has been preferred against the Order dated 13.02.2013 passed by the Additional District Judge-Cum-3rd MACT, Rourkela in CMA Case No.28 of 2011, vide which the Petition under Order 9 Rule 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, hereinafter referred to as “Code” for brevity, filed by the Petitioners was rejected.
