Orders
The High Court of Orissa quashed the government's rejection order and directed the state to release salary (instead of stipend) to Assistant Conservator of Forests trainees during their 2-year training period, citing the March 2024 amendment to service rules that mandated this benefit. The court found the rejection unjustifiable since similar salary benefits were already extended to Forest Rangers under identical amendments, though implementation remains subject to the Supreme Court's pending appeal decision. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
