p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) No.4041 of 2026 Sujata Rout ..... Petitioner Represented by Mr.A.K.Sarangi, Adv -versus- State of Odisha and another ..... Opposite Parties Represented by A.G.A. CORAM: JUSTICE SASHIKANTA MISHRA Order No. ORDER 09.3.2026. 02. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned Addl. Government Advocate for the State. 3. An order was passed by the Addl. Tahasildar (S), Cuttack fixing the amount of Salami and rent in a bebandobasta case involving the case land. Accordingly, the Petitioner was directed to deposit the amount. It is stated that the petitioner is an old lady and not financially sound for which, she could not deposit the amount in time. The Addl. Tahasildar, however, by order dated 20.12.2024 reversed his own order on the ground of non-payment of the salami p. 2 p. 2 and rent and directed the case land to be recorded as Abhada Jogya Anabadi. Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that this order takes away the valuable right of the Petitioner as decided by the Addl. Tahasildar himself in his previous order. Because of financial stringency and her old age, the Petitioner was unable to arrange the required amount. 4. Learned State counsel submits that the Petitioner is defaulted in payment of the required amount. 5. Considering the submissions and taking a lenient view because of the fact that the Petitioner is a lady aged about 85 years, as per the cause title, the Writ Petition is disposed of by setting aside the order dtd.20.12.2024 passed by the Addl. Tahasildar (S), Cuttack in Bebandobasta Case No.565/2016. The Petitioner shall pay the amount determined towards salami and rent within 15 days from today. 6. It is made clear that if the amount is not paid within the stipulated period, the order dtd.20.12.2024 shall revive. In case, the amount is paid, the Addl. Tahasidlar (S), Cuttack shall pass necessary orders within four weeks keeping in view his previous order passed in the case. (Sashikanta Mishra) Judge AKB Designation: A.D.R.-cum-Addl.
