SC serves notice to State Govt in Mili Panda case


BHUBANESWAR: It may create a ray of hope for Subhashree Panda alias Mili, wife of top Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda, as the Supreme Court on Friday served notice to the State Government on her plea. Before, Mili had filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court against her alleged illegal detention by the Odisha police.

Mili in her special leave petition appealed that the Government should provide immediate compensation to her for illegal detention despite bail granted in her favour by the Odisha High Court. The bench comprising Justice B S Chouhan and Justice J S Khehar has asked the State Government to submit the reply within eight weeks. It may be noted that Mili was arrested from a village near Balianta on the outskirts of the capital city on January 14, 2010.
