THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ================== W.P (C).No.20796 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 10th day of July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied for survey of his property. The petitioner moved this Court and this Court directed the taluk surveyor to survey the property within two months. Since the direction was not complied with, petitioner filed a contempt of court case pursuant to which an order was passed. According to the petitioner, the property was not measured properly. Again, the petitioner approached this court and this court directed the taluk surveyor to consider and pass orders on the petition filed by the petitioner against the order passed. The taluk surveyor relegated the petitioner to his remedy by way of a statutory appeal. Accordingly, the petitioner filed Ext.P2 appeal before the respondent. By Ext.P4, the taluk surveyor informed the petitioner that the case records have been forwarded to the respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the W.P (C).No.20796 of 2008 - 2 - respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 appeal expeditiously. 2. I have heard learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and others, if any, likely to be affected by orders to be so passed.
