Opp. Party Mr. Manmaya Kumar Dash, Additional Standing Counsel CORAM: JUSTICE SAVITRI RATHO ORDER Order No. 09.01.2026 (Through hybrid Mode) 01. 1. Office note indicates that Caveat No.986 of 2025 had been filed on 17.06.2025 and has exceeded 90 days. However, copy of the caveat has not been annexed to the writ application. 2. The prayer in this writ petition is for issue of a direction to Opposite Party No. 2 to dispose of Settlement Revision No. 133 of 2020 filed before the Collector, Kalahandi, Bhawanipatna in the year 2020. Pursuant to Government Notification No. RDM- CHC-Policy-0003-2019-38492/R&DM dated 01.11.2023, the case has been transferred to the Court of the Additional Commissioner Settlement and Consolidation, Kalahandi district - p. 2 Opposite Party No.2- on 10.11.2023. Thereafter, on 25.04.2024, notice has been issued to both parties to remain present on the date fixed for hearing and the case was posted to 16.05.2024 by the Additional Commissioner Settlement and Consolidation, Kalahandi-Opposite Party No.2. But the matter has not been taken up on 16.05.2024 nor any date been fixed thereafter. 3. It appears that there are no private parties in the revision pending before the Opposite Party No.2 or any private party in this writ petition. 4. Mr. Manmaya Kumar Dash, learned Additional Standing Counsel does not have any instructions that the caveat in question has been filed by the State of Odisha and any of the Officers. 5. In view of the innocuous nature of order which I purpose to pass, I do not deem it necessary to grant adjournment to the learned State Counsel to obtain instructions regarding the status of the case or call for the Caveat No.986 of 2025. 6. Without going into the merits of the merits of the case of the Petitioner, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Opposite Party No.2 to dispose of Settlement Revision No. 133 of 2020 within a period of six months of production of a certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the parties likely to be affected by the order. 7. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application. (Savitri Ratho) Judge Sukanta Designation: Senior Stenographer
