    Summary The High Court of Orissa dismissed the petitioner's writ petition seeking a one-year extension of his stone quarry lease expiring on 31.03.2026, holding that courts cannot extend lease periods under Article 226 of the Constitution. However, the court directed the government authority to consider the petitioner's pending representation for extension under Rule 64 of the Odisha Minor Minerals Concession Rules, 2016, which grants the government discretionary power to relax rules in deserving cases, and to communicate its decision within four weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
