THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.5745 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims rights over the land in T.D.No.1180 of Vijayarampuram Agraharam, Hamlet of Adavivaram Village, Chinagadili Mandal, Visakhapatnam. His grievance is that the respondents are taking steps to survey the land, without taking into account, the representations made on 14.02.2007 and 14.03.2008. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The circumstances under which the respondents are proposing to survey the land referred to above are not immediately before this Court. Any survey under the A.P. Survey & Boundaries Act, 1973 (for short ‘the Act’) would take place only after issuing notice to the owners of neighbouring lands. If the petitioner is claiming rights in the very land that is sought to be surveyed, he has to work out his remedies before the proper Forum and on the other hand, if the survey is on any land in the immediate neighbourhood of the petitioner and he suffers any detriment, he has to work out appropriate remedy either by way of an appeal to a superior authority or by filing an application under Section 14 of the Act. It goes without saying that any survey would take place only after issuing notice to the immediate neighbours. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case any land in his immediate neighbourhood is surveyed, it shall be open to the petitioner to make representation or raise objections, and if his grievance subsists even after survey is conducted, it is open to him to work out the remedies under the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J Dt.20.03.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.5745 of 2009 Date: 20.03.2009 JSU
