District-specific notes

Koraput is a Scheduled Area district under the Fifth Schedule: the ST and SC Development Department lists Koraput (the undivided district, which now includes Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur and Rayagada) among the districts fully covered. In Scheduled Areas, Regulation 2 of 1956 bars transfer of land by a Scheduled Tribe member to a non-tribal, so check the status of the land with the Tahasil before any purchase; see tribal land transfer rules and forest rights pattas.

The district court is at Jeypore, not at Koraput town; Koraput town has an Additional District Judge and other courts. Similiguda has a Gram Nyayalaya. See Gram Nyayalayas in Odisha. The Orissa High Court also lists a Labour Court at Jeypore.

For land records, the Tahasil office handles mutation and record-of-rights matters; see mutation in Odisha and record of rights. Deeds are registered at the Sub-Registrar office with jurisdiction over the property; see sale and gift deed registration and encumbrance certificates. Free legal aid is available through the District Legal Services Authority, Koraput; see free legal aid in Odisha.
