Mr. A.B. Girase, advocate for the petitioner Mr. S.K. Tambe, A.G.P. for respondents. ..... CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATED: 5TH FEBRUARY, 2010 PER COURT:- 1 Heard counsel for the parties. 2 Considering the relief claimed, in our opinion, it is statutory obligation of respondent No.7 to measure the land and to demarcate the same by following necessary procedure as is required to be done in terms of Section 134 of Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. The petitioner has been making representations in this behalf since the year 2008 but to no avail. We deprecate inaction of the authority, who 2 is obliged to consider such application on its own merits and take it to its logical end in accordance with law. We refrain from making any further observations. 3. We, however, direct respondent No.7 to take necessary steps for measurement and demarcation of the land in question and make compliance with necessary formalities. That be done expeditiously in any case not later than eight weeks from today. The authority shall give notice to the concerned parties before proceeding with the matter. 4 Petition disposed of on the above terms. ( S. S. SHINDE. J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.) rlj/
