Orissa Administrative Tribunal Bar Association has challenged the Orissa High Court's decision which upheld the abolition of OAT. The Central Government 2019 issued a notification to abolish the Odisha Administrative Tribunal.

The court said that the abolition of the Orissa Administrative Tribunal (OAT) was constitutionally valid as it noted that Article 323A does not preclude the Union of India from abolishing state administrative tribunals. Article 323A deals with Administrative tribunals.

The court also noted that hearing people or any representatives are needed when such decisions are taken. (ANI)
