The present writ petition has been filed inter alia challenging order dtd.14.11.2025 so passed by the Orissa Human Rights Commission in OHRC Case No. 656 of 2021.

If as contended Petitioner has never admitted his mistake nor beg leniency before the authority, it is open for the Petitioner to move that authority for modification/recalling of the order. 6. With the aforesaid liberty, the writ petition stands disposed of. (BIRAJA PRASANNA SATAPATHY) Judge Sneha
