IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK
W.P.(C) No.34522 of 2025
Smt. Smurti Rekha Rup …. Petitioner Mr. N. Mohapatra, Advocate -Versus- State of Odisha & Others …. Opposite Parties Mr. U.C. Behura, AGA
CORAM:
JUSTICE DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD
Order No.
01.
ORDER 11.12.2025
Petition prayer reads as under:
“ The Petitioner, therefore, prays that this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to admit the writ petition and issue Rule NISI calling upon the opposite parties to show cause as to why the engagement order of the petition shall not be reissued pursuant to Annexure-6 and why the petitioner shall not be regularized in the post of Asst. Teacher, TGT Science (PCM) in the school of opp. Party no.6 within the time stipulated by this Hon’ble Court.”
The essential grievance of the Petitioner is that he ought to have been continued on renewal of the contract, pursuant to the Government
Order dated 19.06.2025, a copy whereof avails at Annexure-6.
2.
Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that his client would make a representation within two weeks and a direction be issued to consider the same within next eight weeks, in the light of the subject Government Order. With this proposal, learned AGA-Mr. Behura appearing for the OPs agrees. However, he caveats that the decision has to be taken by OP Nos.4 & 5 and therefore, direction cannot be issued as against his client. There is force in this submission.
Notice to OP Nos.4 & 5 is dispensed with, since the prayer of the Petitioner is very innocuous in the sense that he wants an order to pass an order in the subject representation in contemplation. In the above circumstances, writ petition is disposed off reserving liberty to the Petitioner to make an appropriate representation to OP Nos.4 & 5, which if made would be considered within a period of eight weeks in the light of Government Order dated 19.06.2025, a copy whereof avails at Annexure-6. All contentions are kept open. Now, no costs. Web copy of this order to be acted upon by all concerned.
