IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH & THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12847 of 2011 Between: Shantha Bai ..... PETITIONER AND The Assistant Director, Survey & Land Records, Adilabad and 4 others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12847 of 2011 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.Eswaraiah) Petitioner filed LGOP.1/2004 on the file of the Special Tribunal for A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act-cum-1st Additional District Judge, Adilabad. In the said LGOP the petitioner filed earlier I.A.746/2009 under Or.26 Rule-9 CPC for appointment of an Advocate-Commissioner to demarcate and to locate the boundaries of the land bearing Sy.No.126 with the help of the Assistant Director, Survey and Land Records, Adilabad. The said I.A. was dismissed by the 1st Addl.District Judge, Adilabad by order dated 12.03.2010. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed W.P.8839/2010 on the file of this Court, stating that she is entitled to get the appointment of an Advocate-Commissioner for the purpose of demarcating and locating the boundaries of the land bearing Sy.No.126 of Adilabad. This Court by order dated 20.04.2010 dismissed the said writ petition holding that it is for the petitioner to prove and establish the averments made by her independently, and it is not open for her to gather evidence through the Advocate- Commissioner. It is for the petitioner to independently establish her contentions about the alleged grabbing of the land by the respondents. It is always open for the petitioner to approach the Assistant Director, Survey and Land Records, Adilabad to get her land demarcated and file the same during course of evidence. Basing on the said order, the petitioner filed an application dated 25.5.2010 before the 1st respondent-Assistant Director, Survey and Land Records, Adilabad seeking survey of the land in question. As requested by the petitioner, the 1st respondent conducted survey and the land of the petitioner was demarcated with reference to Tonch Map under the cover of Panchanama (Inquest). The petitioner having not satisfied with the said Panchanama (Inquest), prepared by the 1st respondent, filed another application dated 15.04.2011 before the 1st respondent, requesting him to take steps for noting down the physical features on the western boundary of Sy.No.126, situated at Bhoktapur with measurements. Pursuant to the said application dated 15.04.2011, the 1st respondent issued the impugned memo in Rc.No.A3/356/2011 dated 23.04.2011 stating that the physical features cannot be noted down by the Assistant Director, Survey and Land Records and the remedy available to the petitioner is only to approach the Civil Court. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed. Heard both sides. Under A.P.Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923 and the Rules made thereunder, the duty of the Survey Authorities is to furnish records relating to the execution of survey and also to take the survey, but there is no provision to noting down the physical features on the lands. As there is no legal obligation on the part of the 1st respondent to note down the physical features on the land, we are of the opinion that the 1st respondent rightly issued the impugned memo requesting the petitioner to approach the Civil Court for establishing her contentions with regard to the physical features. We do not see any grounds to entertain this writ petition. The Writ Petition is without any merit, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J ___________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY,J Dated: 01.08.2011 Dsr
