Baikuntha Sutar v. State
Case brief
What is this about?
Short single-judge disposal order of the High Court of Orissa at Cuttack in criminal revision CRLREV No.279 of 2004 (petitioner: Baikuntha Sutar; opposite party: State of Odisha), authored by Justice V. Narasingh and dated 24.06.2026. Counsel for the State (Mr. S. Panigrahi, ASC) placed on record an instruction from the I.I.C., Choudwar P.S. reporting the death of the petitioner-accused on 05.01.2024; as no steps had been taken by or on behalf of the deceased-petitioner to pursue the revision (Ms. A. Mehta appearing for Mr. D. Panda having made no submission), the Court held the petition infructuous and disposed of it accordingly. Contains no statutory references, no cited precedents, and no legal findings; relevant chiefly as a record of abatement-by-death of a criminal revision petitioner. Advocates: Ms. A. Mehta (on behalf of Mr. D. Panda) for the petitioner; Mr. S. Panigrahi, ASC for the State.
