Order No. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

01. Heard learned counsel for the parties.

As prayed for by Mr. S. Mallik, learned counsel for the petitioners, the petitioner no.1 having been promoted to the rank of OAS, his name be deleted and this writ petition is confined to petitioner no.2 only.

A memo has been filed to the above extent, which is taken on record.

It is stated that the case of the petitioner is covered by the judgment passed by this Court in WPC (OAC) No.913 of 2017, disposed of on 06.08.2021 (D. Maleswar Patra v. State of Odisha). Therefore, the petitioner's case may be considered in the light of the said judgment.

Considering the contention raised by learned counsel for the parties and after going through the records, this Court disposes of this writ petition directing the opposite parties to consider the case of the petitioner no.2 in the light of the judgment in D. Maleswar Patra (supra) and pass appropriate order in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order.

With the above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.

                                                          (DR. B.R. SARANGI)
