Arindam Sinha, J

1.

Ms. Barik, learned advocate appears on behalf of petitioner and submits, her client has challenged order dated 5th September, 2011 made by the Sub-Collector in rejecting her client’s appeal against issuance of residential certificate to opposite party no.3. She draws attention to voter list published in year 2011 in respect of village Mundhabania. She demonstrates, name of opposite party no.3 stands included in the list. She submits, husband of said opposite party is resident of village Mundhabania and therefore said opposite party’s matrimonial home is in that village. It is of no matter that her father’s house is in village Panisanda.

Ms. Patnayak, learned advocate, Additional Government Advocate appears on behalf of State and Mr. Agarwal, learned advocate, for opposite party no.3.
