This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. Grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition was with regard to non-payment of compensation in terms of judgment dated 11th December, 2018, passed by learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Bhawanipatna, in the district of Kalahandi, in LAR No.43 of 2018, in a reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for brevity 'the Act'). Initially this Court directed the learned State Counsel to take instruction in the matter. 3. The writ petition was last listed on 02.02.2026, when learned State Counsel submitted that the petitioner has been paid the compensation in terms of the judgment in LAR No.43 of 2018 on 31st October, 2025. Hence, Mr. Das, p. 2 learned counsel for the petitioner, sought for a short adjournment to take instruction in that regard. 4. Mr. Das, learned counsel for the petitioner, on instruction, submits that the petitioner has already received the compensation. Thus, no further order is required to be passed in this writ petition. 5. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. (K.R. Mohapatra) Judge (S.K.
