Pattnaik, AGA. CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SASHIKANTA MISHRA Order No. ORDER 12.01.2026 01. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the publication of not-final Hal R.O.R. by the Assistant Settlement Officer. The said not-final R.O.R. is recorded in the name of the G.A. Department. The petitioner, desiring to file an objection under Section 12 of Odisha Survey and Settlement Act, 1958, approached the Asst. Settlement Officer, Cuttack by filing an objection under Section 12 of the said Act. His grievance is that his objection is not being entertained. 3. Learned counsel for the State submits that appeal against such publication is being accepted till August 2025, but not thereafter. 4. To this, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that unless he is permitted to file an objection, he would be seriously prejudiced as the land has been recorded in the name of the G.A. Department. 5. Since, according to the petitioner, his valuable right has been infringed by publication of not-final Hal R.O.R., the Writ Petition is disposed of granting him liberty to file an objection before the p. 2 concerned authority within ten days from today. If such an objection is filed, the authority shall do well to dispose of the same as early as possible. (Sashikanta Mishra) Judge PKSahoo/AKB Designation: A.D.R.-cum-Addl. Principal Secretary
