    The High Court of Orissa dismissed the contempt petition filed by Debasisha Mohapatra against the Commissioner of Higher Education, finding no contempt of court warranted. The court's decision was based on the Supreme Court's prior order granting an additional six months to comply with an earlier directive from F.A.O. No. 509 of 2014, thereby rendering the contempt petition moot. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
