O R D E R

15.10.2026 (K.R. Surana, J)

Heard Mr. A. Phukan, learned counsel for the applicants appearing through video conferencing mode. Also heard Mr. P. Sarma, learned counsel for the respondent nos.1 and 2; and Mr. D. Mazumdar, learned Addl. Senior Government Advocate appearing for the respondent no.1 assisted by Ms. S. Nath; Mr. R. C. Saikia, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Ms. K. Yasmin.

2. By filing this interlocutory application, the applicants are praying for modification of the order dated 17.02.2023 passed by this Court in WA 33/2023 to the extent of directing the respondent authorities to initiate the process of mutation of land described therein and to direct implementation of direction II

of paragraph-12 of the judgment and order dated 27.10.2022 passed in WP(C) 6498/2023.

3. In course of hearing, it has transpired that the original land records of village Durga Sarovar under Mouza Jalukbari is lost and has not been reconstructed.

4. The learned Additional Advocate General has produced a copy of the written instructions dated 14.10.2026 issued by the Secretary to the Government of Assam, Revenue and Disaster Management Department, informing that the matter was examined with reference to Court order dated 27.08.2026 and the office of the District Commissioner, Kamrup(M), Guwahati is ready to undertake the requisite exercise of land settlement of the green settlement in respect of Debutter land as well as other land covered by villages/localities viz. Durga Sarovar, Bhubaneswari, Borah and Kamakhaya of the Nilachal Hills, if so directed by this Court or by the Government.

5. In this regard, a clarification has already been made in the order passed today in the connected WA No. 53/2023.

6. In connection with the nature of the prayer in this interlocutory application and taking note of the fact that the original land records of the concerned village Durga Sarovar is missing, any direction issued for carrying out the mutation activities in respect of any land, in respect of which the original records were lost may create anomalous situation before the District Administration, as the previous land records are missing.

7. Therefore, apart from the mutation or correction of land revenue records which are stayed by virtue of the interim order dated 17.02.2024, if there are any other issues, which are required to be addressed, the applicants are at liberty to move the appropriate authority or the Government for redressal of their grievances, which if raised, shall be examined by the authorities on merit.

8. Accordingly, the aforesaid directions and the liberty to the applicants, this interlocutory application stands closed, without any modification of the order dated 17.02.2023 in W.A. No.33/2023.
