Cuttack: The Orissa High Court set an unusual condition of cleaning the premises of a private bank in Cuttack on all working days for two months while granting bail to a woman, accused in a cheating case involving forged property documents.
“The petitioner shall approach the ICICI Bank, Link Road Branch, Cuttack and clean the bank premises during the morning hours between 8 am to 10 am for a period of two months,” Justice SK Panigrahi said in the order.
The court directed the local police and bank authorities to monitor compliance.
