ORDER

26.07.2022 Order No.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

02.

2.

As it appears, the order impugned has been passed on 12.03.2018 and the Writ Petition has been filed on 28.07.2020 after lapse of Two years Four months. Therefore, the Writ Petition suffers from delay and laches.

3.

In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition at this belated stage, as the same 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).

4.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition merits no consideration and the same is hereby dismissed.
