RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO. 17307 OF 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of respondent-Tahsildar in not considering the application dated 11.07.2008 ﬁled by the petitioner seeking to conduct survey of the land in an extent of Ac.3.05 guntas situated in Survey No.106, of Kundanpally village, Keesara Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, and to ﬁx the boundaries thereof as arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the provisions of the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923 and the circular instructions issued by the Commissioner of Survey, Settlements and Land Records, dated 13.07.2007 in Rc.No.N1/1408/07 and consequently direct the respondents to conduct the survey of the land in question and to ﬁx the boundaries thereof. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner is stated to have submitted his application to the respondent-Tahsildar very recently i.e., on 11.07.2008. Without even giving time for the respondent- Tahsildar to consider his application, the petitioner has approached this Court and ﬁled the present writ petition on 07.08.2008. As on today there is no material to show that the application ﬁled by the petitioner before respondent, is not going to be considered, and it is premature to say at this stage that respondent would not consider the application ﬁled by the petitioner. However, since the application ﬁled by the petitioner seeking to survey the land in question and ﬁx the boundaries thereof is said to be pending consideration before the respondent-Tahsildar, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction: The respondent-Tahsildar is directed to consider and dispose of the application dated 11.07.2008 ﬁled by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _______________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 08.08.2008 VGSR
