p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.A. No. 1782 of 2025 State of Odisha and another …. Appellants Mr. Satya Brata Mohanty, AGA -versus- Sudarsan Mohanty …. Respondent CORAM: JUSTICE DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD JUSTICE CHITTARANJAN DASH ORDER Order No. 12.01.2026 01. The subject matter of this Appeal is substantially similar to that in Writ Appeal No. 975 of 2025, which has been dismissed today. Similar cases are required to be treated alike, which is the guiding norm of adjudication, as rightly contended by learned counsel appearing for the Respondent. In the above circumstances, this Appeal also meets the same fate, as the cognate matter, and is accordingly dismissed.
