THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3049 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the purchaser of an extent of Ac.1.00 of land, out of Acs.25.00, in survey No.170 (Part) of Thokatta Village, Tirumalagiri Mandal, Hyderabad District, through a sale deed, dated 29.09.2004, along with 17 others. It is stated that it becomes difficult for the petitioner to identify her property. Hence, she made an application, dated 25.08.2008 to the third respondent to cause survey of the land and to fix the boundaries thereof. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries act, 1923 and the Rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure for survey of lands and fixation of boundaries. On submission of an application and payment of prescribed fee, the authority concerned has to undertake the survey and fixation of boundaries. The petitioner states that she had made the application way back in the year 2008, and so far, no action has been taken thereon. By any standard, the inaction for such a long time cannot be countenanced. The very purpose of making the application was to know the exact boundaries. If the application filed by the petitioner was defective, in any manner, or that the survey cannot be taken for any other reason, the third respondent ought to have informed the same. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the third respondent to conduct survey of the land in survey No.170 admeasuring Ac.1.00 (Part) of Thokatta Village, Tirumalagiri Mandal, Hyderabad District, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The third respondent shall issue notice to the affected parties and he may require the petitioner to comply with the deficiencies, if any, in the application. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.17.02.2009. GJ
