4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the aforesaid liberty. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the dispute.
5. Pending application (s), if any, shall stand disposed of. Digitally Signed Signed by: SIPUN BEHERA Designation: Senior Stenographer Reason: Authentication Location: HIGH COURT OF ORISSA, CUTTACK Date: 10-Sep-2026 13:32:42 Signature Not Verified
