1. Learned counsel for the Petitioner refers to an order passed by the Tahasildar, Dhenkanal on 16th October, 2008 noting that the land in question has been kept in Category-V of Odapada Master plan and needs the approval of the Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC), Northern Division, Sambalpur to bring it to Category-III(G) to make it leasable. It is submitted that the proceedings are still awaiting the decision of the RDC.

2. The limited prayer here is therefore for a direction to the RDC to convey its decision on the grant of approval for conversion of the category of the land in question to category-III(G) in a time bound manner.

For this purpose, the Petitioner will appear before the RDC, Northern Division, Sambalpur along with a downloaded copy of this order on 16th August, 2022.

4. The petition is disposed of in the above terms. (Dr. S. Muralidhar) Chief Justice (R. K. Pattanaik) Judge M. Panda
