What is this about?
Guest-faculty re-engagement/regularization matter: writ petitioner (guest faculty in 'Sahitya', Sri Jagannath Sanskrit Viswa Vidyalaya) sought regularization; earlier order dtd.05.02.2019 disposing W.P.(C) No.1512 of 2019 (direction to Vice-Chairman to decide re-engagement) reportedly not acted upon; petition disposed with liberty to apply afresh to Opp. Party No.2 under a time-bound framework (application within 3 weeks; lawful decision within 3 months of receipt; communication of the order to the petitioner). Potentially citable for time-bound-decision/communication directives on non-implementation of prior orders. Single-judge bench: Biraja Prasanna Satapathy, J. No statutes or precedent cases cited.
What did the court decide?
Liberty to the Petitioner to make a fresh application before Opposite Party No.2 seeking re-engagement in service; with the observation that if such application is filed within three (3) weeks, Opp. Party No.2 shall take a lawful decision within three (3) months of receipt and communicate the order so passed to the Petitioner.
