IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) No. 6138 of 2025 Sunil Kumar Mohanta & Ors. …. Petitioners Mr. R.N.Nayak, Advocate -versus- State of Odisha & Ors. …. Opposite Parties Mr. P.K.Panda, ASC CORAM: JUSTICE BIRAJA PRASANNA SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER 30.06.2026 09. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical) Mode. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the Parties. 3. The present Writ Petition has been filed inter alia challenging office order dtd.02.03.2024 so issued under Annexure-8 by Opposite Party No.3. 4. It is contended that while transferring and posting the Petitioners against the existing vacancy in there parents Division, no such order could have been passed directing the Petitioners to hand over the duty and report once again before the Field Director-cum- RCCF STF-Opposite Party No.3 for allotting the duties of the STPF. 4.1. It is contended that such a direction could not have been issued by Opposite Party No.3 after allowing p. 2 p. 2 the Petitioners to go on transfer to their parent Divisions and it requires interference of this Court. 5. Learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the State on the other hand contended that since there is no interim order protecting the interest of the Petitioners, the order impugned has already been acted upon and no interference is called after more than two years of the passing of the order under Annexure-8. 6. Having heard learned counsel appearing for the Parties, considering the submissions made and since it is found that there is no interim order protecting the interest of the Petitioners, this Court is also of the view that the order impugned has been acted upon in the meantime. If the Petitioners are otherwise aggrieved as on today they are at liberty to move Opposite Party No.3 for consideration of their grievance. 7. With the aforesaid liberty, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. (Biraja Prasanna Satapathy) Subrat Judge
