Case brief
What is this about?
Nilamadhab Sa filed CRLREV No.135 of 2026 before the High Court of Orissa at Cuttack to assail the cognizance order dated 05.01.2022 passed by the learned SDJM, Sambalpur in T.R. Case No.2247 of 2025 arising out of 1CC Case No.645 of 2021, taking cognizance of an offence under Section 138 of the N.I. Act. The revision was preferred after a delay of 1400 days, with condonation sought in I.A. No.202 of 2026 on the ground of ill-health of the petitioner's parents and non-communication by the petitioner's advocate. Taking into account the recitals and submissions in the light of the Apex Court decision in Shivamma (Dead) by Lrs vs. Karnataka Housing Board and Ors. (2025 SCC OnLine SC 1969), Justice V. Narasingh held that sufficient cause had not been shown, rejected the I.A. for condonation of delay, declined to examine the merits of the revision, and disposed of the revision along with pending I.As. on 19.03.2026.
