Lakhidhar Naik v. State of Odisha
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court dismissed a bail petition. The petitioner remained in custody pending a C.T. case involving IPC offences and Arms Act violations. The prayer was previously rejected on merits, so the court declined release based on the release of co-accused. Liberty to renew the petition was granted if the trial does not conclude within six months.
What did the court decide?
Bail petition dismissed; liberty granted to renew the prayer if trial is not completed within six months.
