The learned Special Government Pleader points out that notice has been issued by the second respondent to the petitioner fixing the date for measurement on 20.07.2011 and the date fixed is already over. 6. The grievance of the petitioner is that on that day, no officer has come and therefore, the measurement could not be taken and there is some impediment, which is causing the delay in taking the measurement. 7. In view of the apprehension expressed by the petitioner, the second respondent is directed to take all necessary steps to conduct the measurement as per his notice dated 16.07.2011, if not already completed, immediately. It is made clear that this Court does not express any opinion about the merits of the petitioner's claim and the Authority shall dispose the same on its own merits. 8. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar /True Copy/ Sub-Assistant Registrar To 1. The Tahsildar, Uthamapalayam Taluk, Theni District. 2.
