THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 22989 OF 2011 Date of Judgment: 13.12.2011 Between: Tatineni Lokeshwar Rao …Petitioner and The Tahasildar, Penamaluru Mandal, Krishna district and another ..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 22989 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent is not conducting survey and sub-dividing his land admeasuring 3.15 cents in Sy.Nos. 160 and 162/6 of Kanuru village, Penamaluru Mandal, Krishna district. The petitioner states in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that he has paid necessary fee and has been requesting the respondents for conducting the survey by sub-dividing his land and alleging inaction of the respondents, he has filed the present writ petition. First respondent has filed a counter-affidavit inter alia stating that the field measurements book of the land is required for the purpose of survey, especially for fixing boundaries and that Mandal Surveyor, Penamaluru Mandal has conducted survey, on 11.2.2011, but he could not fix the boundaries, as field measurements book was not available. It is also stated that the petitioner was duly informed of the same by the Tahasildar under his letter FLR No. 9/11, dated 11.2.2011 and if at all the petitioner still wants survey of sub-division to be conducted, he has to make an application with required fee for sub-division and has to form ridges on the ground by himself. The petitioner has filed a reply affidavit contending that no survey as alleged was held, as the petitioner was never informed of any such survey and he has not received any letter as alleged in the counter affidavit. He also denied that there could be no difficult in fixing the boundaries, even if there are no ridges on the ground. However, irrespective of the controversy as to whether the boundaries can be fixed or not, the learned counsel for the petitioner now states that the petitioner will make a fresh application by paying the necessary fee and shall make all necessary arrangements for facilitating the survey so that the land can be sub-divided at least now. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents states that as stated in paragraph-8 of the counter affidavit, there would be no difficult in conducting fresh survey, if the petitioner complies with those requirements. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to make a fresh application as stated in paragraph-8 of the counter-affidavit and on such application, together with fee, if any deposited, the first respondent shall forthwith arrange to conduct survey in accordance with law and fix boundaries as per the Surveys and Boundaries Act, within two months from the date of application of the petitioner. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 13.12.2011 KR
