An extract from the speech was published in a local daily known as 'matrubhumi' on 10-3-1956. The Editor and the printer and Publisher of the said daily were also called upon to show cause why they may not be committed for contempt, but they have both tendered an unqualified apology.

J. and Mohapatra j) in an application under Article 226 of the Constitution filed by one of the zammdars of Ganjam district delivered judgment holding that the survey made in ganjam District was not authorised by law inasmuch as the proper notification under the Madras Survey and Boundaries Act of 1923 was not issued, and also gave consequential reliefs to the applicant.
