Authority: High Court of Odisha, Cuttack

Order Date: 16 October 2026

Petitioners: Smruti Ranjan Parida & others filed W.P.(C) No.33944 of 2026 against the State of Odisha and others, alleging that an 11 kV electric line had been erected over their land by the Odisha Distribution Company (TPCODL).
Respondents: State of Odisha & TPCODL, represented by counsel S.P. Das (ASC) and Advocate R. Jena on behalf of Mr. L.K. Moharana.
Key Allegation: The petition claimed an unauthorized 11 kV line over the petitioners' property.
TPCODL Position: Counsel for TPCODL asserted that no 11 kV line was ever installed on the petitioners’ land, and therefore no obligation existed to remove any such structure.

The Court accepted the withdrawal request and disposed the writ petition as withdrawn on 16 October 2026.
