None had appeared on 21.02.2022 for the petitioner and the following order was passed:- "The writ petition has been renumbered and registered before this Court on 06.08.2021 after being transferred, upon abolition of Odisha Administrative Tribunal, Bhubaneswar.

On perusal of the available order-sheet of the learned Tribunal, it is found that the matter was never taken up after 16.08.2012.

The original application was filed before the learned Tribunal in the year 2012, the applicant seeking appointment as Forester, General Category (Women), pursuant to the selection process that was initiated in the year 2011.

It is submitted by the learned Additional Government Advocate that since the challenge is to a selection process of 2011, nothing would survive for determination in the present writ petition, after 11 years.

To grant another opportunity to the petitioner, list on 08.03.2022."

// 2 // Learned Addl. Government Advocate reiterates his submissions that nothing would survive for adjudication in a challenge to the selection process initiated in the year 2011.

The writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution granting liberty to the petitioner to revive the same within 90 days for any surviving cause of action.
