Orders
The High Court of Orissa rejected the petitioner's request to transfer the investigation to an independent agency like CBI or State Crime Branch, finding no necessity for such transfer based on current investigation progress. However, the court partially granted relief by directing the Superintendent of Police, Puri to ensure supervision of the ongoing investigation (Case No. 425 of 2025) by a senior officer of Deputy Superintendent rank or above to address the petitioner's concerns about potential political pressure and ensure fair investigation into the death by electrocution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
