1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the Opp. Parties.
3. Petitioner has filed the present writ petition inter alia with the following prayer:- “Under the above circumstances, it is therefore humbly prayed that the Hon'ble Court be pleased to direct the Opp. Parties to include the petitioner in the General Provident Fund (Orissa) Rules, 1938 and the Orissa Civil Service (Pension) Rules, 1992 by allowing a GPF Account Number, as his case is squarely covered by the decision of the Hon'ble Court in the case of Ananda Dash Vs. State of Odisha and others, reported in 2014 (Suppl-1) OLR 754; Any other appropriate Writ/Writs, order/orders or direction/directions be issued so as to give complete relief to the petitioner.
