IN THE HIGH COURT OF ORISSA AT CUTTACK
W.P.(C) No.12936 of 2025
Amrit Jena …. Petitioner
Mr.B.K. Behera-1, Advocate
-versus-
… State of Odisha & Others Opp. Parties Mr.S.K.Jee, AGA for O.P.1 Mr.D.Mohapatra, Sr. Advocate for O.Ps.3 & 4
CORAM:
JUSTICE DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD
ORDER 17.10.2025
Order No. The short grievance of the petitioner is as to the 03 inaction on the part of the opposite party nos.3 & 4 in not effecting the change of ownership entry in respect of the plot in question, his father having passed away on 27.01.2017.
Learned Senior Advocate for the answering opposite parties, although initially opposed the petitioner, now fairly agrees with the suggestion of this Court to instruction opposite party no.4 to accomplish the task in accordance with law, if all necessary records are furnished by the petitioner, if a timeline is prescribed. This is appreciable.
In the above circumstances, petition is disposed off directing the opposite party no.4 to consider the claim of

the petitioner for change of name in the land and property records in relation to the subject property within an outer limit of eight (8) weeks. All contentions of the parties are kept open.
It is hardly needs to be stated that all the stake holders be given an opportunity of hearing by opposite party no.4.
Now, no costs.
Web copy of order to be acted upon by all concerned.
