THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1841 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of land in Survey Nos.13/A and 14/A, C&D of Neerkulla Village and Survey No.283 of Penchikalpet Village, Atmakoor Mandal, Warangal District. He has been making efforts to get the said lands measured and their boundaries are fixed. Initially an application is said to have been filed in the year 1987. It is also stated that on the advice given by the Tahsildar, 1st respondent herein, the petitioner filed a fresh application on 08.06.2007 together with a challan for Rs.275/-. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner filed an application way back in the year 1987. For two decades, no steps were taken thereon and having regard to the difficulty in tracing the application, the petitioner filed a fresh application on 08.06.2007. The A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act and the rules made thereunder obligate the authorities of the Departments concerned to undertake survey and fix the boundaries, as and when applications are made in the prescribed form. There cannot be any justification for the 1st respondent in not taking action on the application made by the petitioner. In case, it was defective in any manner, the same ought to have been pointed out. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to take necessary steps on the application submitted by the petitioner and conclude the survey and fix the boundaries, as prayed for, in the application within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is also made clear that in case the application is defective in any manner, the same shall be intimated to the petitioner, to enable him to rectify the defects. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 04.02.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 1841 of 2009 Date: 04.02.2009 JSU
