p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) No.7057 of 2026 CORAM: JUSTICE SASHIKANTA MISHRA ORDER 14.05.2026 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. The petitioner filed Mutation Case No.4195 of 2025 before the Additional Tahasildar, Jatani for mutation of the case land in her favour on the basis of Registered Sale Deed dated 05.02.1988. By order dated 02.07.2025, the Revenue Inspector, Janla submitted report stating that the case land is a leasehold land recorded with status ‘Dakhal Satwa Sunya’. The Additional Tahasildar, Jatani by order dated 03.07.2025, dropped the mutation proceeding solely on the ground of the report of the revenue Inspector. 3. Surprisingly, by order dated 03.07.2025, the Additional Tahasildar abruptly dropped the case based on the R.I. Report. 4. No reasons whatsoever have been cited. Nothing has been said s to how the report submitted by the R.I. is correct or otherwise acceptable. In short, the order is bald and non-speaking, which cannot be sustained in the eye of law. 5. The writ application is therefore, allowed. The impugned order dated 03.07.2025 is hereby set aside. The Additional Tahasildar, Jatani is directed to hear the mutation case afresh after Sobharani Nayak .… Petitioner Represented by Mr. S.K.
