The State has filed the statement and the counsel for the private respondents seeks for time for filing reply. 4. In the statement filed by the State, it is stated that the Duty Magistrate, who had undertaken the task, could not proceed when the villagers wanted an enquiry to be made before a demarcation was done.

The counsel for the State says that there is no impediment now to carry out the task. The State shall assign to the Duty Magistrate the task of making local enquiries and demarcate the property in the manner sought for. The Magistrate shall be at full liberty to secure appropriate security for carrying out his work and the same shall be done within a period of 8 weeks from the date of this order. 5. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE 22.11.2011 sanjeev
