"There is no statutory bar for an accused in custody in connection with a case to pray for grant of anticipatory bail in another case registered against him," the Orissa High Court held.
The Orissa High Court directed the State government to arrange training programmes for the notaries in Orissa on a regular basis, on concerns that most notaries appeared to be unaware of their functions and duties.
Due to such subterfuge arrangements by notaries, parties are made to believe that they are legally married when their marriage does not have even the slightest of legal sanctity, the Orissa High Court added.
To carry out investigation under Sections 156 and 157 of CrPC, Graduate Constables and CI Havildars must first be designated as “officers” either by promoting them or creating new posts, Orissa High Court said.
