1.

Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Order No.

2.

It is alleges that even though petitioner has made an approach for demarcation of the land involved and a demarcation case was registered as Demarcation Case No.1247 of 2021, there is no step taken by the Tahasildar concerned and in the meantime the adjacent land owner already made an application for demarcation of the land involved involving Annexure-6 and there is also registration of another Demarcation case bearing Demarcation Case No.167 of 2022. Learned counsel for the petitioner alleges that there is no issuance of notice by the competent authority for disposal of the demarcation application at the instance of the petitioner and in the event the proceeding vide Annexure-6 is undertaken, there may be prejudice to the petitioner. Learned State Counsel has no objection for disposal of both the demarcation cases pending.

3.

Considering the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court feels it appropriate to direct the Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar to undertake the exercise of demarcation involving both Demarcation Case No.1247 of 2021 and Demarcation Case No.167 of 2022 further also involving the parties involved. Considering to void any future
