                                       W.P.(C) No. 13370 of 2024
             State of Odisha and others                 .....                                  Petitioners

                                                        Vs.
             Santanu Kumar Dalei and others             .....                            Opposite Parties

                              CORAM:
                                 DR. JUSTICE B.R. SARANGI
                                 MR. JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY

                                                               ORDER

18.06.2024 Order No. This matter is taken up by hybrid mode.

01. 2. As it appears, the order impugned has been passed in 2019, whereas the Writ Petition has been filed in 2024, and as such, there is delay of more than five years in filing the Writ Petition. 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 (W.P.(C) No. 15763 of 2021 dismissed on 16.07.2021), which has been confirmed by the Apex Court, vide order dated 05.04.2023 in S.L.P.(C) Dairy No.9259 of 2023.

4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition merits no consideration and the same is hereby dismissed.

                                                                             (DR. B.R. SARANGI)
                                                                                   JUDGE
