Court Decision Summary The High Court of Orissa quashed the criminal proceedings against Jayant Samal and others in a kidnapping case (Tangi P.S. Case No.39/2024), finding that continuation would be futile and abuse of process. The court was satisfied that conviction was remote given the victim's sworn affidavit stating she willingly left home, subsequently married the petitioner, and now lives happily with him in a consensual relationship. The court applied Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the FIR and all related criminal proceedings, finding no realistic chance of conviction despite the non-compoundable nature of the offence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
