for a direction to the opposite party no.2-IDCO, Bhubaneswar to execute the lease hold rights
in favour of the petitioner.

 2. Since 2007 no order has been passed except for adjournments having been sought
. On 19.06.2007, which was the last date when the case was listed, the order passed is to the
 effect that none appeared for the petitioner and this Court had adjourned the case so as to e
nable the petitioner to show that opposite party no.2-IDCO is an instrumentality of the State.
 3. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner had purchased the property

s held. The terms of the auction, as well as the order passed by this Court in the earlier wr
it petition, have not been placed on record. The petitioner claims that he has paid the entir
e amount of Rs.55,00,000/- (Rupees fifty five lakh) and possession has also been handed over i
n favour of the petitioner. He also claims that the other dues demanded by IDCO have also bee
n paid to it, yet the lease deed has not been executed in favour of the petitioner.

etition, the petitioner may approach the opposite party no.2-IDCO, Bhubaneswar by filing a rep
