This batch of writ petitions was filed by persons appointed as Court Managers in the High Court of Orissa and District Courts of Odisha, originally under a scheme funded by the 13th Finance Commission for the period 2010–2015. After the scheme period ended, their contractual engagements were extended periodically by the State Government on the recommendation of the High Court. The petitioners challenged, inter alia, certain provisions of the Odisha Senior Court Manager and Court Manager of the High Court and District Courts (Method of Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 2020 as violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, sought regularisation of their services in an appropriate Group-A cadre, claimed annual increments on their contractual salary of Rs.55,000/- per month, and challenged orders of disengagement dated 30.08.2022 as well as a fresh recruitment process initiated in 2022. The judgment, authored by Justice Aditya Kumar Mohapatra on behalf of a Division Bench, disposed of all the connected writ petitions by a common judgment, though the provided text does not disclose the final operative directions.
