Disengage Notice to two ASOs

Cases under Reference:
WP(C) No.8516/2015 - State of Odisha & others Vs Sudipta Kumar Mohanty and
OA No.3965 of 2012

It is so bad that due to mistakes of OPSC officials in selection process, these three ASOs had to suffer. So rather than disengagement of ASOs, we demand proper disciplinary action on those officials for which this litigation arises.
