Opp. Parties Mr. Umesh Chandra Behura, AGA CORAM: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE CHITTARANJAN DASH Order No. ORDER 19.03.2026 01. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Parties. 2. The matter is lying over before this Court since 2017 for want of removal of defect. The Petitioner despite the lapse of eight years has not removed the defect. Even otherwise, on merit, the order of the Revenue Officer, has been challenged who declined to issue caste certificate in favour of the Petitioner on the ground that the caste to which she belonged does not come within the purview of Scheduled Tribe. 3. Such order of the Authority being appealable under the relevant statute, the Writ Application is not maintainable on both counts. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Application stands disposed of.
