IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.A No. 769 OF 2022 State of Odisha and others …. Appellants Mr. Siba Narayan Biswal, Additional Standing Counsel -versus- Rojalin Pattnaik …. Respondent Mr. Kabi Ranjan Mohanty, Advocate CORAM: JUSTICE K.R. MOHAPATRA JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MISHRA ORDER Order No. 10.03.2026 05. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. This Writ Appeal has been filed challenging the order dated 16th December, 2021 passed in W.P.(C) No.39267 of 2021, whereby learned Single Judge directed that the Respondent be regularized by issuing formal letters of regularization in terms of the G.A. Department letter dated 17th September, 2013, as they have already completed six years of service, on being appointed against sanctioned posts by following due procedure of selection. 3. On the last occasion, Mr. Mohanty, learned counsel for the Respondent submitted that the ratio in the case of Patitapaban Dutta Dash and others –v- State of Odisha and others (W.P.(C) No.19951 of 2020), disposed of on 9th September, 2021, is squarely applicable to this case. The said order was challenged by the State Government in W.A No.777 Digitally Signed Signed by: MADHUSMITA SAHOO Reason: Authentication Location: OHC Date: 11-Mar-2026 17:20:24 Signature Not Verified of 2021 and was confirmed by this Court. Assailing the same, the State Government preferred SLP(C) No.17482 of 2023, which was disposed of without inferring with the order passed in the Writ Appeal. 3.1. Taking note of the same, this Court directed learned State Counsel to examine as to whether the ratio in the case of Patitapaban Dutta Dash and others (supra) is applicable to the case at hand or not. 4. Mr. Biswal, learned Additional Standing Counsel, on instruction, submits that the ratio in the case of Patitapaban Dutta Dash and others (supra) is squarely applicable to the instant case. Hence, the State Government has taken a decision to implement the order impugned herein. 5. In view of the above, no further order is required to be passed in the Writ Appeal. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal stands dismissed. Any other I.A., if pending, also stand dismissed. 7. It is expected that the order passed in W.P.(C) No.39267 of 2021 shall be implemented within a period of eight weeks hence. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application. (K.R.
