Niranjan Das v. State of Odisha
Orissa HCWP(C)/20594/2025
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Odisha HC dismisses writ petition against closure of Sub-Jail at Khandapada; establishment, location, shifting and closure of sub-jails held to be matters of executive wisdom/discretion; petition misconceived; no statute or precedent cited; single-judge order dated 12.12.2025.
What did the court decide?
The Judge agreed with the learned AGA's submission that whether a sub-jail should be established, where it should be established, whether an established sub-jail should be shifted elsewhere, and whether it should be closed once for all are all decisions of Executive wisdom, and therefore a petition of this kind is thoroughly misconceived. ¶22
