Petitioner had sought compensation for her arrest in a ‘false’ sedition case; it was listed for hearing only twice in a decade
The Orissa High Court ordered the fresh issuance of notices in a case upon finding that it was listed only twice for hearing in a decade. This case pertained to a lawyer activist moving court seeking compensation for being put behind bars in a “false” sedition case. The lawyer activist, Pratima Das, was arrested on August 12, 2008 on allegations of participating in subversive activities of the banned CPI (Maoist). She was charge-sheeted in two cases under various grievous charges, including murder, dacoity and sedition. Ms. Das had to stay in jails for over two years before courts acquitted her in those cases.
