03.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2.

Heard Mr. P.P. Mohanty, learned Addl. Government Advocate appearing for the Petitioner-State 3.

As it appears, the revisional order has been passed on 11.05.2016 under Annexure-11 and the Writ Petition has been filed on 29.01.2018, i.e., after more than one and half years. Therefore, the Writ Petition suffers from delay and laches. 4.

In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition at this belated stage, as the Writ Petition suffers from delay and laches, in view of the Judgment/Order of this Court in the case of State of Odisha v. Surama Manjari Das (W.P.(C) No. 15763 of 2021 dismissed on 16.07.2021). Accordingly, the Writ Petition merits no consideration and the same is hereby dismissed.
