REGISTRAR-CUM-ADDL. PRINCIPAL SECRETARY Reason: Authentication Location: HIGH COURT OF ORISSA : CUTTACK Date: 16-Mar-2026 14:29:38 Signature Not Verified p. 2 The complaint is that this order has not been complied with. After service of notice, the contemnors have placed on record a copy of letter dated 12.03.2023 sent by the Controller of Accounts, Odisha to the Office of the Advocate General. Unnumbered para-2 in the said letter reads as under: “In this context it may be stated here that the Controller of Accounts, Odisha in consultation with the BEO, Basta, after verifying the available records has authorized the available balance of final payment of GPF Rs.1,35,053/- vide GPF Authority No.6683 dt.13.01.2026 (Copy Enclosed) after adjusting the Opening Balance and the same has been disbursed vide Treasury Voucher No.624 Dt.17.01.2026 in favour Sri Mohapatra. Hence, at this point of time, there is no more further GPF amount of the petitioner pending at the level of the Controller of Accounts, Odisha for payment. So, the order Dt.10.09 2025 of the Hon'ble Court has been fully complied with by the Controller of Accounts, Odisha” In the above circumstances, there is substantial compliance of the order whose violation is complained of and therefore, this contempt proceeding is liable to be dropped with liberty to the complainant to work out remainder of the grievance. In that connection, all contentions of the parties are kept open. Ordered accordingly. (Krishna Shripad Dixit) Judge Basu Designation: ADDL. DY. REGISTRAR-CUM-ADDL. PRINCIPAL SECRETARY
