This document contains the original judgement from the High Court of Orissa at Cuttack, concerning the case of Mama @ Bidyut Prava Khuntia vs. State of Orissa. It addresses a complex legal question regarding a Magistrate's power to take cognizance of offences exclusively triable by a Sessions Court, especially when the accused has not been charge-sheeted. The judgement discusses various Supreme Court precedents and ultimately dismisses the petitions, providing clarity on this aspect of criminal procedure. It is essential reading for legal practitioners and students interested in criminal law and procedure in India.
