JUDGMENT The petitioner claims ownership and possession over 72 cents of land in Sy.No.279/4,1,5 of Vadakkekkara Village in Parur Taluk. He submitted an application for measuring the property and to fix its boundary, after remitting necessary fee, it is submitted. Pursuant to the said application, now Exts.P3 and P4 notices have been issued to survey the property. The same has not been so far completed. Hence, this writ petition. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader for the respondents. The respondents raise various difficulties in doing the survey. If there is any defect in the application, the same shall be brought to the notice of the petitioner and he will cure it. Thereupon, the property of the petitioner shall be surveyed and a sketch shall be provided to him. While conducting the survey, the land owners in the neighborhood shall also be given notice. Surveyor will have no right to physically fix the boundary, if it is objected to by the neighbours. The writ petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, MS JUDGE.
