Jurisdiction Retained After Territorial Transfer | Sub-Registrar Must Implement Court Orders Despite Administrative Reorganization : Orissa HC

This affirms that judicial directives supersede administrative boundary changes, holding public officers accountable for enforcing court mandates regardless of territorial reorganization.
