THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.8297 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner submitted an application for survey of land in Survey Nos.104, 135, 137 and 146 of Kothapet Village, Sirpur Kaghaznagar Mandal, Adilabad District before the Tahsildar, Sirpur Kaghaznagar, 2nd respondent herein. A sum of Rs.250/- was also remitted. Acting on the application, the Mandal Surveyor issued notice dated 11.05.2005 proposing to survey the land on 13.05.2005. The notices were served on the owners of the neighbouring lands. However, the survey did not take place. After waiting for about three years, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 19.12.2008 with a request to resume the survey. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The 2nd respondent acted promptly on the application made by the petitioner and 13.05.2005 was fixed as the date for making survey of land. Notices were issued on 11.05.2005. However, the survey did not take place and the reasons therefor are not immediately before this Court. There cannot be any justification to keep the matter pending for such a long time. Atleast, when the petitioner submitted representation on 19.12.2008, the 2nd respondent ought to have taken necessary steps. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the survey, which was proposed to be conducted through notice dated 11.05.2005 issued by the Mandal Surveyor, shall be conducted and completed within six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, duly issuing notices. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 22.04.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.8297 of 2009 Date: 22.04.2009 JSU
