                                              ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE DR. B.R. SARANGI
                                              MR. JUSTICE MURAHARI SRI RAMAN

                                                                        ORDER

01.12.2023 Order No. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2. As it appears, the order impugned has been passed on 29.11.2018 and writ petition has been filed on 21.11.2023, which is more than five years of passing of the order impugned. 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.
