MR. JUSTICE BIRAJA PRASANNA SATAPATHY

The High Court of Orissa permitted the continuation of departmental proceedings against the petitioner but imposed a critical condition: no final disciplinary order shall be passed until the related criminal case (G.R. Case No. 865/2024) is finalized. The court adopted the Supreme Court's principle that filing a defense in disciplinary proceedings during ongoing criminal proceedings could jeopardize the criminal case outcome. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
