This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. Learned State counsel has produced a copy of the case record, which reveals that the petitioner was present and heard on 28.10.2025. The impugned order was passed on 19.07.2026, which was a Sunday. There is no explanation as to for what reason the Tahasildar chose to pass an official order in a pending mutation case on a Sunday.
3. Without however, entering into the factual controversy in this regard, this Court deems it proper to set aside the impugned order and direct the Additional Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar to hear the mutation case afresh after granting proper opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and to pass a reasoned order in accordance with law.
