The court found a prima facie case that the Contai-Belda road falls under Kharagpur Division PWD, not Midnapur Division, potentially rendering the proceeding against the petitioner invalid due to lack of jurisdiction. The case is adjourned to May 13, 2026, with the State assured that no coercive action will be taken against the petitioner pending disposal.
