JUDGMENT :
1. This writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, 1950 has been filed by the Petitioners praying for quashing the final order dated 30.09.2024 (Annexure-5) passed in R.P. Case No.853 of 2015 by the Additional Commissioner, Land Records and Settlement, Cuttack- 1, Headquarters at Collectorate, Jajpur (O.P. No.2) on the ground that, though, there is finding in the body of the impugned order (Annexure-5) in favour of the O.P. Nos.4 to 9, but, in its conclusion, the R.P. Case No.853 of 2015 was dropped, which is confusing both the Parties i.e., whether the R.P. Case No.853 of 2015 has been allowed on merit or the same has been dropped without any merit.
To which, the learned counsels for the O.P. No
An ambiguous order by revenue officials that conflicts with ongoing civil proceedings is not sustainable; clarity and opportunity for hearing must be provided.
Settlement Authorities must adhere to Civil Court judgments, regardless of how those judgments were rendered.
The court ruled that a successive writ petition concerning the same issue cannot be maintained after a prior dismissal for non-prosecution and is barred by delay.
