Summary The High Court of Orissa dismissed the State's appeal and upheld the Single Judge's order granting employee Sangita Badi pension benefits under OCS (Pension) Rules 1992 and GPF Rules 1938. The court found the State's seven-year delay in issuing appointment orders despite a valid select list (valid for only one year) to be unreasonable administrative inaction, holding that citizens cannot be penalized for official negligence in a welfare state. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
