p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.A. No.1819 of 2025 State of Odisha and others …. Appellants Mr. S.B. Panda, AGA -Versus- Bijay Kumar Barik …. Respondent None CORAM: JUSTICE KRISHNA SHRIPAD DIXIT JUSTICE CHITTARANJAN DASH Order No. 01. ORDER 09.03.2026 I.A. No.4425 of 2025 Learned AGA appearing for the Appellants draws our attention to an application in I.A. No.4425 of 2025 supported by affidavit, wherein a prayer for condonation of delay of 25 days is made. AGA submits that there is a plausible explanation for delay brooked and he has got a very good case on merits. There is some force in this submission. In the above circumstances, application in I.A. No.4425 of 2025 is allowed and delay in filing the writ appeal is condoned. W.A. No.1819 of 2025 The State and its Officials are in this Intra-Court appeal. They call in question, the order of the learned Single Judge dated 20.09.2025, whereby W.P.(C) No.26522 of 2025 having been p. 2 favoured, the following relief has been accorded to the Respondent-employee: “6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, considering the submissions made and since the issue is only with regard to submission of the property statement details to get the benefit of promotion to the rank of Inspector of Police, it is the view of this Court that on the ground of non- submission of such statement, petitioners should not be deprived to get the benefit. It is also the view of this Court that submission of property statement details is only for the purpose of reference and there will be no serious issue if it is accepted offline. 6.1. Therefore, this Court while disposing the Writ Petition, permits the petitioners to submit property statement details offline before the concerned Superintendent of Police in course of the day without fail. If such statement is submitted offline in course of the day, appropriate steps be taken by the concerned Superintendent of Police to do the needful in terms of letter dated 07.09.2025 issued by the State Police Headquarter under Annexure-1. Learned Addl. Govt. Advocate is directed to intimate about the order passed today to the concerned Superintendent of Police. 7. With the aforesaid observation and direction, all the Writ Petition stands disposed of.” 2. Having heard learned AGA appearing for the Appellants and having perused the appeal papers, we decline indulgence in the matter, inasmuch as the direction in the impugned order is only to consider the case in the light of fact matrix and the law applicable. Ordinarily, such orders are not appealable, more particularly by way of Intra-Court Appeal. In the above circumstances, Writ Appeal is being unworthy of merits is liable to be rejected in limine and accordingly it is. The order of the learned Single Judge shall be implemented within an outer limit of three months after giving an opportunity of hearing to all the stakeholders including the Respondent p. 3 herein. It is also open to the Appellants to solicit any information/documents from the stakeholders, if need be. All contentions are kept open. Web copy of order to be acted upon by all concerned.
