Following the scrapping of the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) Benches, the pending Original Application (OA) cases, contempt cases and review petitions of these Benches will now be transferred for adjudication in the Orissa High Court.
An order issued by the High Court recently has said the transferred cases shall have different nomenclatures according to their types and the Benches from which they have been transferred.
The order further said the cases shall be heard by a single judge. An Original Application pending in the Cuttack Bench of SAT, which was earlier abbreviated as OA (C), will now be referred as WPC (OAC) following its transfer to the High Court. Similarly, an OA (Provisional) of the same Bench will be abbreviated as WPC (OAPC) in the High Court.
