ORDER

22.04.2022 Order No.

11.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2. Heard Ms. Deepali Mohapatra, learned counsel for the petitioner. 3.

The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging the order dated 12.03.2004 passed by Central Administrative Tribunal, Cuttack Bench, Cuttack in O.A. No. 963 of 2002.

4.

On perusal of the record, it reveals that the order of the Tribunal was passed on 12.03.2004 and the petitioner has filed this writ petition only on 13.07.2018, i.e. after more than 13 years of the order passed by the tribunal. Therefore, this 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).

5.

Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. Ashok/Puspa (DR. B.R. SARANGI) JUDGE (SAVITRI RATHO) JUDGE
