THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No.20059 OF 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this writ petition is to declare the action of the respondents, in not conducting survey of the petitioner’s land to an extent of Ac.3.50 cents in Sy.No.926 and 976/3 of Sy.No.805/P of Kadivedu village, Chillakur Mandal, Sree Potti Sreeramulu Nellore District, as arbitrary and illegal. The case of the petitioner, in short, is that an extent of Ac.50.00 in Sy.No.805(P) of Kadivedu village, Chillakur Mandal, Sree Potti Sreeramulu Nellore District, was declared as surplus; the 4th respondent, vide proceedings dated 21.12.1980, had allotted an extent of Ac.3.50 cent of land to the petitioner; his name was mutated in the 10(1) account of adangals under patta No.482; the said land was sub-divided later; a Class I Contractor by name Sri Ganga Prasad, had started causing obstructions to the possession of the petitioner on the ground that the land was not surveyed; and it is in such circumstances that he had approached the 4th respondent requesting that a survey be conducted. The petitioner claims to have made a representation to the respondents 2 to 4 in this regard on 29.11.2010. While this Court was initially inclined to direct the respondents to file a counter affidavit, and examine whether the provisions of the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act would apply for survey of the petitioner’s land, Sri S. Srinivasa Rao, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would state that it would suffice if this Court were to dispose of the writ petition directing the 4th respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation in accordance with law within a specified period. Without expressing any opinion on the question as to whether or not the provisions of the Act apply to the petitioner’s land, and whether a mandamus can be issued to the 4th respondent to conduct such a survey, since what all the petitioner is seeking is that his representation be considered and disposed of by the 4th respondent, there shall be a direction to the 4th respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation strictly in accordance with law and to pass orders thereupon within a period of three months from the date of receipt a copy of this order. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. No costs. ___________ 08-08-2011 Note: Issue C.C in one week B/o asp
