Orders
The Orissa High Court dismissed the State's appeal and upheld the Single Judge's order granting employee Pradipta Kumar Sahu OCS (Pension) and GPF benefits. The court found no legal basis to deny relief, emphasizing that the State's seven-year delay in issuing appointment orders despite a valid select list (valid for only one year) constituted administrative negligence for which citizens cannot be penalized. The court directed implementation within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
