                                         JUSTICE B. P. ROUTRAY

                                                       ORDER

19.03.2026 Order No.

9. 1. Present Tahasildar, Mr.R.N.Acharya is present in person pursuant to the direction of this Court and submits that after his joining on 19th December 2025, he has not conducted any demarcation. But, as per the averment made at para-8 of the affidavit dated 18th March 2026, he has stated that demarcation was successfully conducted by the revenue authorities in presence of police personnel, boundary tenants and village gentries. It is thus clear that the present Tahasildar has no direct knowledge about any demarcation conducted previously to his joining, when he admits that after his joining he has not conducted any demarcation process.

2. Accordingly, the Tahasildar, Mahakalpara is directed to explain under such situation how the statement has been made in his affidavit dated 18th March 2026.
