Mahanta, Advocate For the Respondent(s) : Mr. R. Dhar, Government Advocate BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 21.01.2026 Heard Ms. A. Mahanta, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner and Mr. R. Dhar, the learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of all the Respondents. 2. The Petitioner herein is aggrieved by the verbal suspension w.e.f. 31.03.2024 and as such has approached this Court by filing the present writ petition. 3. The record reveals that the writ petition was filed on 08.05.2025. This Court vide an order dated 26.06.2025 was not inclined to issue notice however sought for instructions from the Respondents as to why the Petitioner was put under verbal suspension w.e.f. 31.03.2024. 4. Today, when the matter is being taken up, Mr. R. Dhar, the learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the Respondents submitted Page No.# 3/3 that in view of the involvement of the Petitioner in Gorchuk P.S. Case No.98/2024 registered under Sections 387/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, the Petitioner was discharged from his service w.e.f. 04.04.2024. In that regard, he has placed before this Court a set of instructions which are collectively kept on record and marked with the letter “X”. 5. Further to that, the order of discharge dated 04.04.2024 was placed before this Court which is kept on record and marked with the letter “Y”. 6. Taking into account that the Petitioner has already been discharged from his service, the very edifice on which the instant writ petition has been filed seems to be misconceived and without there being a challenge to the order of discharge dated 04.04.2024, no relief can be granted in favour of the Petitioner. 7. Accordingly, this Court therefore dismisses the instant writ petition on the ground that it is a misconceived writ petition. However, it is observed that if the Petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 04.04.2024, a copy of which has been handed over by Mr. R. Dhar, the learned Government Advocate to Ms. A. Mahanta, the learned counsel for the Petitioner, the Petitioner would be at liberty to again approach this Court by filing a fresh writ petition. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
