Respondents For Appellants : Mr.Imran Ahmad Khan, Advocate For Respondents No.1 to 6/State : Mr.P.K.Bhaduri, Deputy Advocate General 3 Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Ravindra Kumar Agrawal, Judge Judgment on Board Per Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice 02.04.2026 1. Heard Mr. Imran Ahmad Khan, learned counsel for the appellants as well as Mr.P.K.Bhaduri, learned Deputy Advocate General appearing for respondents No.1 to 6/State on I.A. No.01/2026, which is an application for condonation of delay of 36 days in preferring the appeal. 2. On due consideration, I.A. No.01/2026 is allowed. Delay of 36 days in preferring the appeal is hereby condoned. 3. With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the writ appeal is heard finally. 4. This writ appeal is presented assailing the order dated 24.11.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in WP(S) No.11785 of 2025 whereby, the writ petition filed by the appellant herein was dismissed by the learned Single Judge. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the parties submit that the issue involved in this writ appeal has already been considered and decided by this Court vide judgment dated 13.03.2026 in WA No.191/2026 (Jeewan Lal Banajare and others v. State of Chhattisgarh and others) by which this Court held as under:- 4 “32. Upon perusing the impugned order, we notice that the same has been rendered by the learned Single Judge with cogent and justifiable reasons. In an intra-court appeal, no interference is usually warranted unless palpable infirmities are noticed. Learned Single Judge while dismissing the writ petition by the impugned order has adverted to all the facts of the case. We do not find any fault in the impugned order. 33. In view of the above, the writ appellants/petitioners have failed to demonstrate that they are similarly situated to the petitioner in Writ Appeal No. 261/2023 (Smt. Sona Sahu v. State of Chhattisgarh and Others). Their claim under the Circular dated 10.03.2017 is, therefore, misconceived, and the learned Single Judge has rightly dismissed the writ petition. Accordingly, the present writ appeal is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed.” 6. In view of above, the present writ appeal is also dismissed in terms of the judgment dated 13.03.2026 passed by this Court in WA No.191/2026. No cost(s).
