1. This matter is taken up by hybrid mode.

2. The matter having been transferred from the learned Odisha Administrative Tribunal, Cuttack Bench, Cuttack upon its abolition, has been registered as a writ petition before this Court on 1.12.2021.

3. On perusal of the available order sheets of the learned Tribunal, it is indicated that the matter was never taken up after 16.1.2014.

4. It is submitted by learned Standing Counsel that the nature of prayer made in the Original Application "not to initiate any Disciplinary Proceeding" has been rendered infructuous in view of the long pendency. It is further submitted that no such prayer can be granted as per the prevailing Rules as the petitioner is in a Govt. service, i.e., Headmaster in a School governed by the OCS(CCA) Rules.

5. Considering the above submission, the writ petition is disposed of having become infructuous granting liberty to the petitioner to revive the same within ninety days for any surviving cause of action.
