ORDER
Order No. 19.06.2026
01. (Through virtual mode)
1. This writ petition has been filed with the following prayer:- “It is therefore prayed that Your Lordships may graciously be pleased to Admit the case, issue notice to the Opp. Parties and on hearing a direction to the Opp. Party No- 2 to deliver the symbolic possession of the TP Plot No. TP1-2344/1 to the petitioner.
Or in alternate, restrain the O.P No-1 to 3 from delivering the symbolic possession of the TP Plot No. TP1-2344/1 based on the entry in the ROR under Annexure-2, till the Mutation ROR is issued in the name of the Petitioner.”
2. Mr. S.P. Misra, learned Senior Advocate submits that the Petitioner had purchased the land on which Plot No. TP1-2344/1 is situated vide RSD No. 1404 dated 06.02.2008 and the Petitioner has filed Mutation Case No.28458 of 2025. As the RoR still stands in the names of the vendors of the Petitioner, the BDA authorities are proceeding to hand over possession of the said plot to the recorded owner (Opposite Parties No.5 and 6). The Petitioner has submitted a representation dated 14.05.2026 to the Land Officer (TP), Bhubaneswar Development Authority-Opposite Party No.3 (Annexure-5) which has been received on 15.05.2026, requesting them not to hand over the possession of the plot till disposal of the Mutation Case, but the same is still pending.
3. In view of the above submissions and the order which I propose to pass, I do not consider it necessary to issue notice to the Opposite Parties.
4. It is, however, open to the Opposite Parties to approach this puspa Court for variation of this order, in case, there has been suppression of any material facts or if they are prejudiced by this order in any way.
5. This writ application and interim application are disposed of directing the Opposite Party No.3-the Land Officer (TP), Bhubaneswar Development Authority before whom the representation (Annexure-5) stated to be pending, to dispose of the representation by a reasoned order within a period of six weeks from today. Till disposal of the representation, the possession of the land situated in Mouza-Paikraypur of Bhubaneswar Tahasil under Khata No. 306 having Plot No.1614 measuring an area of Ac. 0.008 dec. (TP1-2344/1) shall not be handed over to anyone.
