IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) No. 15347 of 2026 Santosh Kumar Patra …. Petitioner Mr. S.K. Pal, Advocate -Versus - State of Odisha and Ors. …. Opposite Parties Mrs. J. Sahoo, ASC CORAM: JUSTICE SASHIKANTA MISHRA ORDER_ 21.05.2026 & 1. This matter is taken up through virtual mode. 2. The petitioner has approached this Court with the following prayer: “It is, therefore, prayed that this Hon'ble Court may graciously be pleased to admit this case, be pleased to issue notice to the Opp. Parties directing them to file a show cause as to why the petition shall not be allowed and why the Hal map is to be corrected as per Sabak map and possession of the land vide Annexure-1 Series in the interest of justice; And, for this act of kindness the petitioner shall as in duty bound ever pray.” 3. The petitioner contends that the Hal map published along with Hal ROR is not in conformity with the Sabik map. He seeks correction of the map accordingly. 4. Since the settlement ROR has been finally published, it is for the petitioner to seek remedy of revision under Section 15(b) of the OSS Act for relief. The writ petition is therefore, disposed of granting liberty Order No. 01. to the petitioner to prefer revision before the appropriate authority within 15 days from today. If such revision is preferred along with an application seeking condonation of delay, the same shall be considered in accordance with law. The petitioner is also permitted to move an application seeking appropriate interim relief, if so advised. 5. This Court directs status quo to be maintained in respect of the suit property for a period of fifteen days. . (Sashikanta Mishra) Judge A.K. Rana Designation: P.A.
