12.03.2026. It is stated that the property being a joint property, the demarcation was completed but the property is subject matter of an appeal in R.F.A. No.6 of 2025 pending before the First Additional District Judge, Khordha.
3. It is stated since the matter is sub-judice and taking into
consideration the objections presented by the objector, the report is kept pending until the order is passed in the RFA. This is an unacceptable plea taken by the Tahasildar.
