    The High Court of Orissa set aside the Assistant Settlement Officer's order directing that the petitioner's mother's land be recorded under Government Khata, finding that the authority had rejected the objection case without examining the documents establishing the mother's title. The court remitted the matter for fresh consideration, directing the petitioner to appear before the authority within two weeks with supporting evidence and requiring a decision within six weeks, while clarifying it expressed no opinion on the merits.
