1. Heard Mr. M.M. Ansari, learned counsel for the Petitioners as

well as Mr. P.K. Mohanty, learned A.S.C. for the State-Opposite

Party.

2. The impugned order dated 03.01.2022 of the learned 1^st Addl.

Sessions Judge, Sambalpur in S.T. Case No.103 of 2016 rejecting

the prayer of the Petitioners under Sec.207 of the Cr.P.C. is the

subject matter of challenge in the present petition.

3. Upon hearing both the parties and perusal of the impugned

order, it reveals that the specific grievance about non-supply of

statements of some witnesses mentioned by the Petitioners in

their petition dated 29.10.2021 has not been dealt with in the

impugned order dated 03.01.2022. Admittedly the accused

persons have the right to get the copies of the documents as per

Section 207 of the Cr.P.C. Therefore, considering the specific

grievance of the Petitioners and their right under Section 207,

Cr.P.C., it is directed to supply them all such copies of police
