ORDER
30.06.2022 01.
RJ 1.
This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2.
The writ petition has been registered before this Court on 26th August, 2021, after the original application was transferred from the learned State Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, Bhubaneswar upon its abolition.
3.
On perusal of the available order sheets of the learned Tribunal, it is indicated that notices were issued on 01.10.2015 and the matter was never taken up/pursued after 22.02.2019.
4.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that he has no up-to-date instruction to pursue the matter at present on behalf of the petitioner. 5.
The O.A. was filed in the year 2015 by group of petitioners who were working as Assistant Teachers in different Schools under different Block Education Officers at different places in the district of Bolangir, inter alia
// 2 // praying for grant of benefits under the ORSP Rules, 2008. It is further alleged in the writ petition that due to inaction of the authority, the petitioners are not getting the benefits under ORSP Rules.
6.
In view of lack of instruction from the petitioners, it is not known whether the cause of action still survives at present.
7.
Learned Standing Counsel submits that in all likelihood, the petitioners have got the benefit and also submits that the subsequent benefits of 2015 ORSP Rules have been granted to the employees in the meantime, therefore no cause of action would survive at present. 8.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of for lack of up-to-date instruction from the petitioners granting liberty to revive the petition within sixty days for any surviving cause of action. (M.S. Sahoo) Judge
