p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C). NO.34232 OF 2025 Sananta Kumar Bhuyan …. Petitioner Mr. Monomoy Basu, Advocate -versus- Additional District Magistrate, Bhubaneswar and another …. Opp. Parties Mr. Bibekananda Nayak, Additional Government Advocate CORAM: JUSTICE K.R. MOHAPATRA JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MISHRA ORDER Order No. 12.02.2026 3. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. Mr. Nayak, learned Additional Government Advocate, on instruction, submits that Revision Case No.7 of 1984 pending before the Additional District Magistrate, Bhubaneswar is posted to 6th March, 2026 for hearing. 3. Mr. Nayak, learned Additional Government Advocate, on instruction, further submits that the legal heirs of deceased lease holder namely, Hrushikesh Singh @ Behera have not yet appeared, for which, the revision case could not be disposed of as yet. 4. From the submission made by Mr. Nayak, learned Additional Government Advocate, it appears that the Revision Case No.7 of 1984 initiated under Section 7-A(3) of the Orissa Government Land Settlement Act, 1962 (for brevity, ‘the Act’) is not ready for hearing. Hence, the prayer p. 2 of the Petitioner to dispose of the revision case within a stipulated period cannot be entertained at this stage. 5. Mr. Basu, learned counsel for the Petitioner, however, submits that he shall cooperate with the Additional District Magistrate, Bhubaneswar for early disposal of the revision case. 6. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with an observation that on appearance of the parties, the Additional District Magistrate, Bhubaneswar shall take expeditious steps to dispose of Revision Case No.7 of 1984 under the Act giving opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application. (K.R. Mohapatra) Judge (S.K. Mishra) Kanhu Judge Designation: Junior Stenographer Location: High Court of Orissa, Cuttack.
