Summary:
After Janakinath passed away in 1938, the land and the building were recorded in the name of Netaji and other members of his family. An open-air pandal had also been constructed with the aim of holding cultural programmes for the entertainment of visitors. Later, the lease was updated several times.In 1997, the family’s descendants demanded a permanent patta for the bungalow. The matter was pending for years till February 2013, when the then RDC Aravind Padhee rejected the plea and directed the Puri district administration to acquire the land and the building. This sparked off a legal dispute between the Puri collector’s office and the heirs of the Bose family before the court of revenue divisional commissioner (central).Later, Netaji’s family members urged the RDC to exclude the name of the leader from the owners’ list..
