THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.25991 of 2010 DT.22.10.2010 Between: Gandhe Bhaskar and another … Petitioners And The District Collector, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District and others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.Mohd.Asifuddin Counsel for respondents: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.1 to 4 in considering and disposing of the petitioners’ representations, dated 07.05.2010 and 09.09.2010, for conducting survey and fixing boundaries as illegal and arbitrary. A perusal of the averments contained in the affidavit shows that the petitioners made the above representations to respondent Nos.1 and 2 for survey and demarcation. However, the petitioners failed to plead that while making such representations, they have followed the procedure prescribed under the provisions of the A.P.Survey & Boundaries Act, 1973 and the Rules made thereunder by applying in proper form and paying requisite fees through challans. Unless the petitioners follow this procedure prescribed under the statute, no mandamus can be issued to the respondents. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to approach the competent authority with proper application and proof of payment of fees for conducting survey and demarcating the boundaries. If such application is received by the competent authority, he shall act on it in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.33206 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 22.10.2010. VGB
