ORDER

22.06.2022

1. 1. This matter is taken up by hybrid mode.

2. The writ petition has been registered before this Court on 21.8.2021 after the Original Application was transferred upon abolition of the learned Odisha Administrative Tribunal, Bhubaneswar.

4. On perusal of the available order sheets of the learned Tribunal it is indicated that notices were issued on 17.6.2015 and the matter was never taken up/pursued thereafter.

5. The Original Application before the learned Tribunal was filed in the year 2015 by the petitioner who was working as Asst. Engineer (Civil), R.W. Division-II, Balasore to allow him to participate in the selection process pursuant to the advertisement dated 17.4.2015 (Annexure-3) for recruitment to the post of Asst. Executive Engineer (Civil) and Asst. Executive Engineer (Mechanical) in Group-A of Odisha Engineering Service under Water Resources Deptt. as advertised by O.P. No.3-OPSC.

6. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has no up-to-date instruction to pursue the matter at present on behalf of the petitioner.

7. Learned AGA referring to the averments made in the writ petition, submits that considering the nature of grievance that is to allow the petitioner to participate in the selection process of OPSC that was initiated in the year 2015, nothing would survive after seven years and the recruitment process is long since over.

8. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of for lack of up-to-date instruction from the petitioner to pursue the matter at present granting liberty to revive the same within sixty days for any surviving cause of action.
