PATTANAIK Order No. ORDER 16.01.2026 03. 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Instant contempt petition is filed by the petitioner for non-implementation of the Court’s order in W.P.(C) No.26998 of 2024 dated 14th November, 2024 as at Annexure-P1 and direction issued in CONTC No.1966 of 2025 on the grounds stated. 3. Perused the affidavit filed by the opposite party/contemnor. 4. Mr. Swain, learned counsel for the opposite party/contemnor submits that the Court’s order at Annexure-P1 has been complied with by a decision dated 25th July, 2025 considering the representation of the petitioner. p. 2 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that such order has never been communicated to the petitioner. It is also submitted that compliance affidavit at Flag-A, therefore, should not be accepted. 6. But, having gone through the order dated 25th July, 2025 of the opposite party/contemnor, it is made to reveal that he has considered and disposed of the representation dismissing the plea for settlement under uniform policy. In view of the above and a detailed order by the opposite party/contemnor dealing with the representation of the petitioner, no further direction is necessary, however, leaving it open for the petitioner to challenge the same according to law. 7. Consequently, CONTC is disposed of. (R.K. Pattanaik) Judge Alok
