p. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK W.P.(C) No. 3038 of 2026 Anadi Charan Das …. Petitioner Represented by Mr. A.K. Panda, Advocate -Versus – State of Odisha and another …. Opp. Parties Represented by Mr. S.S. Routray, ASC CORAM: JUSTICE SASHIKANTA MISHRA ORDER_ 02.02.2026 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode. 2. The petitioner claims that he came to know about the pendency of Mutation Case No. 16919 of 2025 before the Tahasildar, Tangi Choudwar, on the basis of a general notice issued vide order dated 06.01.2026. Since he claims to be the grandson of the recorded tenant, he sought to object to the mutation proceeding but his objection was not accepted nor was he heard. The very object of issuing general notice is to enable persons having interest in the subject matter to put forth their views/objections, if any. Not allowing an objector to submit his objection would render the requirement of issuing general notice redundant. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of directing the Tahasildar, Tangi Choudwar to accept the objection of the Order No. 1. p. 2 petitioner, to be filed by him within ten days as undertaken and to grant an opportunity of hearing in the matter.
