THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5254 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner clams to be the owner and possessor of an extent of Ac.0.37 guntas of land in Survey No.73/AA of Kothur Village and Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. It is stated that she submitted an application on 11.06.2007 to the Mandal Revenue Officer, Kothur Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District, the second respondent herein, with a request to cause survey of the land and to fix the boundaries thereof. 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 Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923 and the Rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure for survey of lands and fixation of boundaries. On submission of an application and payment of prescribed fee, the authority concerned has to undertake the survey and fixation of boundaries. The petitioner states that she had made an application way back in the year 2007 and so far, no action has been taken thereon. By any standard, the inaction for such a long time cannot be countenanced. If the application filed by the petitioner was defective, in any manner, the second respondent ought to have informed the same. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the second respondent to conduct survey of an extent of Ac.0.37 guntas of land in Survey No.73/AA of Kothur Village and Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The second respondent shall issue notice to the affected parties and he may require the petitioner to comply with the deficiencies, if any, in the application. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:17.03.2009 kdl
