Pasayat started his career in litigation on 10 October 1968, when he was enrolled to the bar as an advocate. In this role, he practiced before the Orissa High Court in taxation and constitutional matters while also taking up other commercial cases. He simultaneously pursued the examination of chartered accountant and completed the mandatory article-ship, and also passed the Intermediate Chartered Accountancy Examination.
He was appointed an additional judge in the Orissa High Court on 20 March 1989. He was then appointed the chief justice of the Kerala High Court on 20 September 1999. He was subsequently transferred and appointed the chief justice of Delhi High Court on 10 May 2000.[1]
