Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.C.A.RSESHAGIRI RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE This Court at the admission stage made the following: THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.9997 OF 2005 ORDER : The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of Ac.2-04 cents of wet land situated in Sy.NOs.353/1A, 353/1B and Sy.No.353/2A within the limits of Ponnur Town of Guntur District. It is claimed that her name is entered in all the revenue records as pattedar and Pattadar Pass Book and Title Deed were issued in her favour. However, in view of certain rival claims made by the adjacent land owners, the petitioner made an application dated 13-12-2002 together with the requisite fee requesting the 2nd respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer, Ponnur Mandal to survey the land in question and to fix the boundaries. In pursuance thereof, the 2nd respondent has directed the third respondent – Mandal Surveyor to take the necessary steps and accordingly the third respondent issued a notice dated 20-06-2003 directing the petitioner and the adjacent landowners to be present at the site on 28-06-2003. However, on that date the survey did not take place and the third respondent has refixed the date as 12-07-2003, on which date the third respondent has surveyed the land, but failed to fix the boundaries with reference to the petitioner’s sale deeds. It is alleged that the third respondent has taken note of a rough sketch and completed the survey. The petitioner contends that the third respondent has failed to conduct the survey properly and he has also failed to fix the boundaries and that apart he also failed to furnish a copy of the plan and relevant proceedings to the petitioner. The petitioner states that she made representations dated 4-9-2004 and 24-03-2005 to the 1st respondent – The District Collector, Guntur District requesting to furnish the proceedings of survey conducted by the third respondent or in the alternative to conduct a resurvey and to fix up the boundaries with respect to her title deeds, for which she also paid the requisite fee. However, the third respondent failed to respond and the certified copies as sought by the petitioner have not been furnished so far. Hence, this writ petition. I have heard the learned Counsel for both the parties and perused the material on record. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents states that the since the representations made by the petitioner dated 4-9-2004 and 24-03- 2005 are pending, the same will be considered by the respondents in accordance with law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the applications dated 04-09-2004 and 24-03-2005 submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order.
