Odisha Woman Moves SC To Quash DA Case Citing Husband's Death | Odisha News
New Delhi: A widow on Thursday moved the Supreme Court seeking to set aside proceedings against her in a disproportionate assets case citing that her husband, the main accused in the case, had died and that she can not defend herself in his absence.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi asked the Odisha goverment to explain whether the trial can continue independently against a housewife notwithstanding the fact that her husband, who was accused of acquiring
disproportionate assets, died and the case against him has abated.
The court was hearing a petition filed by a widow Arati Sahoo challenging the Odisha High Court order dismissing her plea seeking to drop disproportionate assets case against her.
The woman said the case cannot be continued against her, in view of the death of her husband.
