                  State of Odisha & others                       .....                             Petitioners
                                                                                       Mr. A.K. Mishra, AGA

                                                                  Mr. K.C. Satapathy, Advocate (for O.P.1)

                                           DR. JUSTICE B.R. SARANGI
                                           MR. JUSTICE MURAHARI SRI RAMAN
                                                                        ORDER

30.08.2023 Order No. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2. As it appears, the order impugned has been passed on 30.03.2017, the writ petition has been filed on 20.05.2019 and in the meantime more than two years have passed. Therefore, the writ petition suffers from delay and laches.

3. In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this belated stage, as the writ petition suffers from delay and laches, in view of the judgment/order of this Court in the case of State of Odisha v. Surama Manjari Das (in W.P.(C) No.15763 of 2021 dismissed on 16.07.2021), which has been confirmed by the Apex Court in SLP(C) Diary No.9259 of 2023 vide order dated 02.03.2023.

4. Accordingly, the writ petition merits no consideration and the same is hereby dismissed.
