Odisha High Court Orders Reinstatement of Judicial Officer Who Resigned Over Son's Care
The Odisha High Court ordered the reinstatement of judicial officer Ipsita Mohanty, who resigned after her transfer to Hindol deprived her autistic son of necessary medical care. Mohanty had sought a transfer to Bhubaneswar for her son's treatment, but her request was deferred without decision. She resigned in November 2022 but withdrew her resignation in December before it was formally accepted. The court ruled her resignation was under duress and invalid, directing the state to restore her service with continuity.
