THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.7020 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have purchased the land in Survey No.377/1 of Nagavaram Village, Krosur Mandal, Guntur District on 13.11.2007. His grievance is that taking advantage of the uncertainty about the boundaries of the land, respondents 3 to 5 are trying to encroach and in spite of repeated requests, respondents 1 and 2 are not arranging for survey of the land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for revenue. The grievance of the petitioner is two-fold. The first is about the alleged inaction on the part of respondents 1 and 2 in arranging for survey of the land and the second is about the attempts on the part of respondents 3 to 5, to encroach into the land. So far as the first aspect is concerned, in case, the petitioner wants the land in Survey No.377/1 to be measured, he has to make an application prescribed under the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act (for short ‘the Act’) and the rules made thereunder. The concerned authority would issue notice to the owners of the neighbouring lands and conduct survey on the basis of the available records. As regards the second limb of the relief, the petitioner has to approach the civil Court by filing a suit. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case, the petitioner submits an application in the prescribed form to the 1st respondent, he shall arrange for survey of the land in Survey No.377/1 duly issuing notice to the owners of the neighbouring lands and that it shall be open to the petitioner to file a suit against the respondents 3 to 5, for necessary relief in a civil Court. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 02.04.2009 Note: Issue C.C. by 08.04.2009 (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.7020 of 2009 Date: 02.04.2009 JSU
