HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.12315 of 2007 Dated:18.06.2007 Between: Smt.Ghousunnisa Begum. …Petitioner and State Government of Andhra Pradesh and others. …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.12315 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is allegedly owner of land admeasuring Ac.0.12 guntas in survey No.234 situated at Gagillapur Village, Quthbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, which he statedly inherited from his father late Sayyed Isemuddin. He made an application to the third respondent on 18.05.2007 requesting for survey and demarcation of the land. In response to the said application, the third respondent issued Memo No.A/4007/2007, dated 01.06.2007, informing the petitioner that the survey and demarcation cannot be conducted, as there is no tippan available for survey No.234, of Gagillapur Village. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-T), this Court does not find any infirmity in the order passed by the Tahsildar, refusing demarcation and survey. ‘Tippan Book’ is described in Hand Book on Survey, Settlements and Land Records in Andhra Pradesh by Sri P.Kasthuri Reddy as under. 6.5 Tippan Book :- In the tippan, all the outlines of the number measured in the form of a rough sketch together with details of measurement of the field boundary lines (band map), base lines and offsets are noted. The names of parties present during measurement, old S.No. Chalta No. and the name of the holder or joint holders will also be noted. Measurements are noted in chains and annas. Boundary marks (i.e.) stones planted are also noted. Details such as foot path, cart tracts, trees, houses, wells, nalas, etc. are also marked approximately in the tippan sketch. In Andhra Pradesh especially in Telangana Area, a tippan book is an important record of measurement of all the field survey numbers. In the absence of any such tippan for survey No.234, in which the petitioner’s land is allegedly comprised, survey is not possible and a writ of mandamus cannot be issued to the Tahsildar to do an impossible thing and take up survey. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 18.06.2007 Note:Furnish a copy of this order to the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. (B/o) GJ
