ORDER

22.02.2022 01.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

RJ The writ petition has been registered before this Court on 6th August, 2021, the original application having been transferred from the learned State Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, Bhubaneswar upon its abolition.

On perusal of the available order sheets of the learned Tribunal, it is indicated that the matter was never taken up after 30.09.2013.

The original application was filed before the learned Tribunal in the year 2012 by the applicant/petitioner seeking a direction to promote him to the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police (Signals) w.e.f. 16.08.2011, when the petitioner was working as Inspector of Police in the State Police Services Headquarter.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he does not have up-to-date instruction from the petitioner to pursue the litigation.

// 2 // Learned Addl. Govt. Advocate submits that by efflux of time, nothing remains to be adjudicated as the petitioner would have retired in the year 2014. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of as not pressed, with liberty to the petitioner to revive the same within sixty days for any surviving cause of action.
