Subhranshu N.Mohapatra v. State of Odisha
Case brief
What is this about?
Administrative dismissal order, High Court of Orissa at Cuttack (11.01.2024), Justice Sanjay Kumar Mishra: W.P.(C) No.1818 of 2017 (Subhranshu N. Mohapatra v. State of Odisha & others, presented 31.01.2017) dismissed for non-removal of filing defects after petitioner's counsel was absent at listings on 16.05.2017 (defect-removal, Deputy Register (Judicial)), 19.07.2017 and 22.11.2017 (orders); time extensions granted but defects persisted per the Office. No statute or case cited; not citable for substantive legal doctrine — relevant only as an instance of dismissal-for-defective-filing practice.
What did the court decide?
This Court dismissed the Writ Petition for non-removal of defects, on the basis that the petitioner's counsel was absent at all three listings (16.05.2017 before the Deputy Register (Judicial); 19.07.2017 and 22.11.2017 for orders) and the Office confirmed that the defects remained unremoved notwithstanding the time extensions granted.
