    The High Court of Orissa dismissed the writ petition holding that the petitioner's prayer for 18% interest on unutilized earned leave salary was already adjudicated in an earlier petition (W.P.(C) No.26423 of 2023), where the court had directed authorities to decide the claim and a contempt petition was subsequently disposed of on 26.06.2025. The court found that filing a fresh writ petition with identical prayers was not maintainable and directed the petitioner to take appropriate action in the previously disposed petition instead. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
