Parameswaran, IAS, Secretary, ST & SC Development Department, Bhubaneswar and others …. Opp. Party Mr.S.B. Panda, AGA CORAM: JUSTICE KRISHNA SHRIPAD DIXIT Order No. 03. ORDER 20.02.2026 This Court, vide order dated 06.08.2025 in complainant’s W.P.(C) No.21460 of 2025, had directed consideration of his case for regularization in terms of Apex Court’s decision in Jaggo v. Union of India (2024) INSC 1034. The period of compliance was three months. The complainant alleges violation of the above order. After service of process, the contemnors have entered appearance through learned AGA Mr.Panda. They have filed compliance affidavit dated 19.02.2026. A copy of the order No.3705 dated 11.02.2026 accompanies the same. By the said order, claim of the complainant for regularization has been rejected by quoting the Apex Court decision in Jaggo & Umadevi etc. I agree with the submission of p. 2 learned AGA that very substantial compliance of the order has been made. In the above circumstances, this proceeding is dropped with liberty to the complainant to call in question the rejection order, if he is so advised. In that connections, all contentions are kept open. (Krishna Shripad Dixit) Judge Basu Designation: ADDL. DY. REGISTRAR-CUM-ADDL. PRINCIPAL SECRETARY
