ORDER

28.09.2022

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

2. The writ petition has been registered before this Court on 30.12.2021 after the Original Application was transferred upon abolition of the learned Odisha Administrative Tribunal, Cuttack Bench, Cuttack.

3. On perusal of the available order sheets of the learned Tribunal it is indicated that notices were issued on 12.5.2016. After the last listing on 20.7.2016, the matter was not taken up/pursued till it is listed today before this Court.

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

5. Learned AGA referring to the grievance raised in the writ petition, i.e., challenge to policy decision of the State Government dated 2.4.2016, regarding abolition and filling up of certain posts, submits that such challenge is untenable, otherwise, after a long lapse of time nothing would survive for adjudication.

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