Veterinary Department and the occupier accepted the compensation awarded. Thus, he submits that compensation was paid to the grandfather of the Petitioner, who was the occupier of the land. Further, the land being erroneously recorded in the name of the Petitioner, a revision under Section 15 (b) of the Orissa Survey and Settlement Act, 1958 was filed before the Collector, Nabarangpur in OSSA Revision Case No.358 of 2018. The Collector, Nabarangpur in his order dated 11th February, 2021 allowed the said revision and directed to record the land in favour of Chief District Veterinary Officer, Nabarangpur, Veterinary Department, Government of Odisha and to prepare the RoR accordingly. In the said order, it was categorically observed that the Chief District Veterinary Officer relied upon photocopies of notification dated 23rd February, 1954(2), Letter No.1777 dated 24th April, 1954 of RDO, Nabarangpur for payment of compensation and letter of RDO, Nabarangpur to the Tahasildar, Nabarangpur for delivery of land for construction of dispensary, letter dated 21st July, 1954 regarding delivery of possession of the case land and letter of the Tahasildar, Nabarangpur to Additional District Magistrate, Nabarangur vide Letter No.3354 dated 17th November, 2016 as well as the Sabik RoR Khata No.24 along with other documents to show that adequate compensation was paid for accusation of the land. In fact, a notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was made and following due procedure, compensation was awarded in favour of the grandfather of the Petitioner. Thus, a claim for compensation by the Petitioner at a belated stage is not entertainable and is liable to be rejected.
