p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK CRLMC No. 1362 of 2025 Prahallad Chandra Mallick …. Petitioner(s) Mr. S.P. Rath, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha & Anr. …. Opposite Party(s) Mr. S.J. Mohanty, ASC CORAM: JUSTICE SIBO SANKAR MISHRA Order No. ORDER 10.04.2025 01. 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the long pendency of 2 (C) CC No. 16 of 2002 before the learned SDJM, Jajpur filed under Section 17-A of the Industrial Dispute Act for implementation of the award dated 20.06.2001 in I.D. Case No.110 of 1996 passed by the Labour Court, Bhubaneswar on expiry of 30 days of its publication by the Govt. of Orissa. Even after lapse of more than two decades said case is prolonging. Hence, the petitioner is aggrieved. The petitioner is the beneficiary of the aforesaid award being the workman. Therefore, the prayer made by the petitioner deserves merit, hence, I am inclined to allow the same. 3. Regard being had to the fact that the aforesaid 2 (C) CC No. 16 of 2002 is pending since 2002 without any progress, the p. 2 SDJM, Jajpur is directed to do well to see that 2 (C) CC No. 16 of 2002 pending before it is disposed of as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three months hence in accordance with law. It is directed that the learned SDJM, Jajpur shall not allow to take unnecessary adjournments to any party to the proceeding. 4. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the CRLMC is disposed of. (S.S. Mishra) Judge Ashok Designation: Senior Stenographer
