                          CORAM:
                    REGISTRAR (JUDICIAL)

                               ORDER

21.01.2026 Order No.

15. Perused the case records, disposed of order of Hon'ble

Court dated 09.12.2021 passed in WP(C) No.38224 of 2021.

The record is posted today for orders.

The claim of the petitioner is that she had filed a writ

petition bearing WP(C) No 38224 of 2021. While disposing

writ application, the Hon'ble Court vide order dated

09.12.2021 had directed the Opposite Party No. 1 to

consider her representation within 15 days taking into

consideration Annexures 5 & 6 and to pass a reasoned and

speaking order as early as possible preferably within a

period of three months from the date of receipt of such

representation along with certified copy of the order.

However, despite all her efforts no action has been taken as

per the direction of the Hon'ble Court. Being compelled, she

had again preferred WP(C) No. 13561 of 2024 wherein liberty

has been given to file application as per Chapter-XXVIII of

the Rules of High Court of Orissa, 1948.

During the pendency of this execution proceeding

though notices were issued to the Opposite Parties, O.P. No.

1 did not appear. Though O.P. No. 2 and 3 appeared and

filed show cause, no plausible reason could be assigned for

not complying the order of the Hon'ble Court.

On the other hand, O.P. No. 3 submitted show cause

mentioning therein that the petitioner is the second wife of

Government servant Shri Basanta Kumar Mallick. As per

Rule 56(6) of the O.C.S. (Pension) Rules, 1992 family

pension cannot be granted in favour of the petitioner who

had married Basanta Kumar Mallick during the subsistence

of his first marriage. Accordingly, they had intimated O.P.

No. 1 to do the needful. But despite of repeated reminders

no information has been received from O.P. No. 1.

Heard both sides. Perused the case record which

reveals that though O.P. No. 1 was intimated by O.P. No. 3

to take necessary action to comply with the order of the

Hon'ble Court passed in W.P.(C) No. 38224 of 2021 no

action has been taken. Despite notice in this execution

petition also, no action has been taken.

Rule 3 of Chapter-XXVIII of the Rules of the High

Court of Orissa, 1948 provides that the execution of the

decrees can be executed by attachment of property of the

Judgement-Debtor or by the arrest and detention in civil

prison. As because the Judgment-Debtor i.e. O.P. No. 1 did

not comply the order of the Hon'ble Court the same shall be

executed by the above process as provided in Rule 3 of

Chapter-XXVIII of the Rules of the High Court of Orissa,

1948. Accordingly, it is directed to issue notice to O.P. No. 1

to submit show cause in shape of affidavit as to why the

order of the Hon'ble Court shall not be executed in the above

process. The copy of the order shall be sent to O.P. No. 1

through email.

Put up on 04.02.2026 for receipt of show cause

affidavit from O.P. No. 1.
