ORDER
13.08.2026
01.
1. Mr. Sourav Suman Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has come up before this Court with the following prayer(s): “Under these circumstances the Petitioner prays that your Lordships would be graciously pleased to admit the Writ Petition, issue Rule NISI calling upon the Opp. Parties to show cause as to why the second appeal having Receipt No. C99112012026 dtd.20.1.2026 filed by the petitioner shall not be numbered and dispose of within a stipulated period.
If the Opp. Parties fail to show cause or shown insufficient cause, the said Rule may be made absolute thereby directing the Opp. Party No. 2 to register, number the second appeal and disposed of the same at an early date and / or direct the 0pp. Parties to provide the necessary information to the petitioner within a stipulated period.
And further be pleased to pass any other writ/writs, order/orders, direction/directions as would be deemed fit and proper to grant justice to the petitioner and allow the writ application with cost though out.
And for which act of kindness the Petitioner as in duty bound shall ever pray.”
2. Mr. Smruti Ranjan Dash, learned counsel for Odisha Information Commission, being served with a copy of the writ petition, upon instruction from the concerned authority submitted that the first prayer in the writ petition has become infructuous in view of the fact that the Office of the State Information Commission has already registered the second appeal and assigned registration number.
3. Mr. Sourav Suman Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioner conceded that in fact, the second appeal number has been assigned in the meantime. However, he sought for leave to withdraw the writ petition, with further prayer to ventilate his grievance so far as second prayer for a direction for expeditious hearing is concerned before the Commission. A memo to that effect has been filed in Court, which is taken on record.
4. In view of said conceded position, the writ petition stands disposed of reserving liberty as prayed for. (M.S. Raman) Judge
