Family Court Inaugurated At Nabarangpur

Nabarangpur: In order to resolve the family disputes, a family court was inaugurated in the Nabarangpur district court premises by Orissa High Court’s Justice Satrughana Pujahari on Saturday.

Justice Satrughana Pujahari inaugurated the family court in the presence of the Register of High court, district judge Himansu Sekhar Brahma, newly appointed judge of family court Sanjeeb Dubey, Additional district judge Gourimati Moharana, Registrar Siba Prasad Mohapatra and other officials.

Speaking on the occasion, Justice Pujahari said the efforts were on to provide justice to the women and children to protect their rights under the constitution.
