Page 1 of 2. IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK WP(C) No.9382 of 2026 Chanakya Sahoo ..... Petitioner Represented by Adv. - Nihal Rath -versus- State of Odisha & Ors. ..... Opposite Parties Represented by Adv. – Sasmita Nayak, A.S.C. CORAM: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ADITYA KUMAR MOHAPATRA ORDER 29.04.2026 Order No. 01. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode). 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner. Perused the writ application as well as the prayer made therein. 3. By filing the present writ application the Petitioner calls into question challenging the order dated 03.10.2015 at Annexure-4. 4. On perusal of the record it appears that the Petitioner had earlier approached this Court challenging the very same impugned rejection order at Annexure-4 by filing W.P.(C) No.4100 of 2016. A coordinate bench vide order dated 13.11.2023 has been pleased to dismiss the writ application due to non-prosecution. After dismissal of the previous writ application for non-prosecution, the Petitioner has once again approached this Court by filing the present writ application. Page 2 of 2. 5. In view of the aforesaid development, this Court is of the view that the subsequent writ application is not maintainable. However, while disposing of the present writ application, this Court grants liberty to the Petitioner to move an application before in W.P.(C) No.4100 of 2016 for restoration of that writ application which was dismissed due to non-prosecution. In the event any such application is filed, the same shall be considered in accordance with law. 6. With the aforesaid observations/ directions, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. ( A.K.
