Radhakanta Math vs State Of Odisha And Others ....... ... on 4 February, 2022

7. It is his submission that Section 4(3) or (4) of the Consolidation Act does not clothe a ceiling proceeding under the OLR Act. Section 4 (3) of the Consolidation Act refers to abatement of the proceeding relating to survey, preparation and maintenance of record as well as settlement of land. Although preparation and maintenance of record of right has not been defined in the Consolidation Act, it has the same meaning as mentioned in Odisha Survey and Settlement Act, 1958 (hereinafter referred to as 'Settlement Act') in view of the proviso to Section 2(w) of the Consolidation Act. Section 2(7) of the Settlement Act defines ROR. Section 16 of the said Act refers to maintenance of records.

The further finding that the right and title decided by the Deputy Director, Consolidation in 1981 was long prior to the cancellation notification is entirely untenable in the eye of law. The 1st Appellate Court must be held to have made a complete misreading of the provision under Section-13(4), which refers to the situation obtaining prior to publication of the cancellation notification. It is stated at the cost of repetition that the consolidation ROR was published after publication of the cancellation notification and would therefore, have no value.
