traverse, this Court proceeded with the matter and is of the considered view that the petitioner is rendering service as a pandit/teacher in the aided institution and his service has been approved on ad hoc basis pursuant to Annexure-5 dated 20.03.1993 and, as such, Government has taken a decision to regularize the services of ad hoc pandits/teachers on humanitarian ground. In the meantime, more than 30 years have been passed, but no action has been taken at the level of the Government and, as such, though request was made by the Superintendent of Sanskrit Studies to the Director, Secondary Education, Orissa on 20.07.2011, till date no steps have been taken nor any communication has been made by any authority with regard to the steps taken for regularization of service. Apart from the same, it appears that claiming the benefit the petitioner approached this Court in the year 2012, and this Court issued notice in the matter on 14.02.2013, but in spite of notice being made sufficient, opposite parties have not filed any counter affidavit till date. In the meantime, more than 7 years have been passed, which itself indicates the apathetic attitude of the authority to the petitioner in the present case.
