Considering the above this petition is disposed by issuing the following directions: The irrigation department through its officers to fix the command area based on the Government Land Revenue Records. For the purpose of fixing the command area if documents are required to be 2 furnished by the Petitioner Society, and considering the letter dated 7.4.2005 the Petitioner Society is called upon to furnish those documents as set out therein, within a period of 4 weeks from today. The Respondents thereafter to fix the command area within a period of 12 weeks from today.
