ORDER
Order No. 27.04.2026
02.
1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. Petitioner in this writ petition seeks to assail the order dated 02.03.2024 passed by the Tahasildar, Khordha in Revenue Misc. Case No.145 of 2023 under Annexure-8.
3. It is submitted by learned Counsel for the Petitioner that the land in question was leased out in favour of the Petitioner in the year 1982. But subsequently, the said leasehold property was resumed vide order dated 20.12.2001 in Resumption Case No.117 of 2001, in exercise of power under Section 3-B of the Odisha Government Settlement Act, 1962 (for brevity, “the Act”).
4. The Petitioner had earlier moved this Court in W.P.(C) No.7954 of 2025, which was disposed of as withdrawn, with an observation that, if the Petitioner so advised, may file an Appeal under Section 7 of the Act along with an application p. 2 for condonation of delay against the order of resumption of leasehold property.
5. The Petitioner instead of filing an appeal, again filed an application on 15.10.2025 before the Sub-Collector, Khordha under Annexure-11. It appears that the Petitioner has not yet filed any Appeal under Section 7 of the Act.
6. At this stage, Mr. Pattnayak, learned Counsel for the Petitioner prays for withdrawal of the writ petition to avail the remedy in terms of order dated 02.07.2025 passed in W.P.(C) No.7954 of 2025.
7. Hence, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case of the Petitioner, disposes of the writ petition as withdrawn.
