Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.POTTIGARI SRIDHAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondents : GP FOR REVENUE FOR R1 TO 3 The Court made the following : ORDER: With the consent of the counsel for the parties, this writ petition is taken up for final hearing. The grievance of the writ petitioner is that the respondents are not demarcating the land bearing Sy.No.621/14, situated at Dabirpur Village, Medchal Mandal, Rangareddy District. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner submitted representation to the Mandal Revenue Officer, Medchal Mandal for demarcation of his land bearing Sy.No.621/14 and thereafter, to the Joint Collector, Survey and Land Records, Rangareddy District, Hyderabad. He further submits that the representations have not been attended to by the authorities, which necessitated the petitioner to approach this Court seeking direction to the authorities concerned. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that demarcation of land in Sy.No.621/14 cannot be taken up in the absence of the tippons and the petitioner has been advised to approach the Assistant Director (Survey and Land Records), Ranga Reddy District. It appears that the petitioner has submitted a representation on 7.6.2003 to the Joint Collector, Survey and Land Records, Rangareddy District, Hyderabad through proper channel. Without adverting to the respective contentions of the parties, it would suffice if a direction is given to the respondents- authorities to consider the representation of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to submit fresh application to the respondents for demarcation of his lands by paying requisite fee stipulated under the rules in force and thereafter, the respondents have to consider the same and pass appropriate orders within four months from the date of receipt of application of the petitioner. No costs. _____________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J 13th JUNE, 2005. Note: Issue C.C. in one week. (B/o) Tsr.
