Cuttack: Taking up the petition filed by undertrial businessman Mahimananda Mishra for treatment for serious health issues, the Cuttack Sadar sub-divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM) court Saturday directed the Choudwar Jail superintendent to take necessary action in this regard.
In compliance with an earlier directive of the Orissa High Court to conduct hearing of the case, the lower court has directed to make arrangements for Mishra’s treatment after taking into consideration the statements made by authorities of National Institute of Rehabilitation Training and Research (NIRTAR) and Choudwar Jail superintendent. According to reports, a doctors’ team which examined Mishra , has recommended advanced treatment for him. Mishra’s counsel urged the court to direct the authorities to make necessary arrangements for his treatment at AIIMS hospital in Bhubaneswar.
Mishra is accused of orchestrating a murder at Tarinigada in Paradip and a firing incident at Press Chhak in Cuttack.
