THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.15193 OF 2010 O R D E R Heard both the counsel. 2. The 2nd petitioner is the G.P.A. holder of the 1st petitioner. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that the 1st petitioner is the owner and possessor of the agricultural land admeasuring Acs.5-00 guntas situate in Sy.Nos.11/2 and 11/14 of Khanamet Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District. The said land was purchased by the 1st petitioner on 9.6.1978 from Sri Servath Ramchander, s/o Tuljaram, who is the protected tenant and since the date of purchase, the 1st petitioner is in possession and enjoyment of the land and pattadar pass books were also issued in the year 1978 by the then Tahilildar of Serilingampally Mandal and that he has been paying revenue tax. The further case of the petitioners is that due to increase in land value, the third parties are trying to encroach the land and to avoid the same, the 2nd petitioner filed an application before the 1st respondent – Tahsildar and Deputy Collector, Serilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District, to get the land surveyed and demarcated, at their cost. In pursuance of the said application, the 1st respondent issued memo vide No.MS/193/2010 dated 11.6.2010 stating that the Mandal Surveyor has reported that demarcation of the land cannot be considered, as it is part of the survey number. Aggrieved by the same memo, the present writ petition is filed. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that survey and demarcation of the land can be made even for a part of the survey number and on that ground, the application of the petitioner seeking survey and demarcation, cannot be rejected. 4. The 1st respondent filed counter affidavit and sought to dismiss the writ petition. At paragraph no.4 of the counter affidavit, it is stated inter alia that subsequent to the issuance of the impugned memo dated 11.6.2010, the Commissioner, Survey Settlements and Land Records issued instructions and in pursuance of the same, the petitioners were issued memo No.Ms/193/2010 dated 28.7.2010 informing to apply for the sub-division of the survey number as per the circular instructions along with the documentary evidence to show that the petitioners are owners of the land and the consent of the remaining land holders in the same survey number, for demarcation of survey number and sub-division of the land. 5. Having regard to the above statement made by the 1st respondent in the counter affidavit, the writ petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to make fresh application along with all the necessary particulars and documentary evidence, as required under the Memo No.Ms/193/2010 dated 28.7.2010 issued by the 1st respondent, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order and thereafter within a period of four weeks, the respondents shall consider the application of the petitioners for survey and demarcation of the agricultural land in an extent of Acs.5-00 situate in Sy.Nos.11/2 and 11/14 of Khanamet Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. AVS ------------------------------------ 29—12—2010
