JUDGMENT

B.R. Sarangi, ACJ.

The appellant has filed this writ appeal seeking to quash the order dated 03.11.2023 passed in W.P.(C) No.12588 of 2019, by which the learned Single Judge has directed the Sub-Collector, Nuapada to appoint respondent no.6 as Jogana Sahayak in respect of Kirkita Gram Panchayat within a period of one month from the date of passing of the order.

2. The factual matrix leading to filing of this writ appeal, in brief, is that pursuant to the advertisement dated 16.04.2015 issued by respondent no.1 for the post of Jogana Sahayak, on contractual basis, in respect of Kirkita Gram Panchayat under Khariar Panchayat Samiti in the district of Nuapada, the appellant submitted his application form along with all the required documents, including the residential certificate, which was acknowledged by the authority. But, on scrutiny of the applications, the appellant's application was rejected on the ground 'Copy of Residential Certificate not submitted', as mentioned in the remark column of the list of applicants whose applications are rejected due to over age, under age and non-submission of documents, as has been placed in the proceedings of the District Level Selection
