CORAM:
JUSTICE KRISHNA S. DIXIT
JUSTICE CHITTARANJAN DASH
ORDER
Order No. 07.05.2026
The subject matter of these Writ Appeals is substantially
similar to the one dealt with by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in
Writ Appeal No.1323 of 2023 (State of Orissa v. Chhabindra
Kumar Samal) disposed off on 02.07.2025 in the light of the
decision of the Apex Court in SLP(C) No.13077 of 2020 between
State of Orissa v. Amit Kumar Mishra, decided on 12.01.2021.
There is not much dispute on this position.
In the above circumstances, these Writ Appeals fail and are
accordingly disposed off with a direction to implement the
impugned orders of the learned Single Judge within an outer limit
of three months and without giving any scope for contempt
proceedings.
