UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

1. The Odisha Administrative Tribunal has directed the State to appoint the respondents Shiksha Karmis as Teachers in Primary Schools. The State challenged the decision before the Division Bench. However, the Division Bench did not consider the merit of the challenge and dismissed the State's petition on the ground of delay.

2. Today, the State's counsel prays for adjournment as the arguing counsel has some personal difficulty.

3. The respondents may file their reply within two weeks.
