However, Ratikanta Samal of Cuttack Sadar and Chandana Samal of Choudwar have now been reunited along with their three-year-old son, thanks to a state-level Lok Adalat held here in the district judge court premises.
It was not Samals alone, but at least 12 other estranged couples were reunited in the Lok Adalat, which was conducted over last week-end under the supervision of district and sessions judge Shatrughna Pujahari.
