In the resurvey process, the sub division number of the property has been wrongly assigned. Seeking correction of the same, the petitioner's husband originally, while he was alive, filed Ext.P2 petition before the 2nd respondent (The petitioner submits that the petitioner in Ext.P2, “Shirly Thomas” is her husband and it is mistakenly stated in Ext.P2 that he is the daughter of P.T.Thomas). After the death of the petitioner's husband, the petitioner submitted Ext.P4 reminder. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P2 and P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of w.p.c.23333/08 2 receipt of a copy of this judgment. I am issuing this direction to the 1st respondent since the petitioner submits that under Section 13A of the Survey and Boundaries Act, it is the District Collector, who has to deal with the same. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance.
