Judgment By Ext.P4, the Re-survey Superintendent has informed the petitioner that his application for rectification of survey records as claimed by him cannot be granted. It appears that the stand of the Survey Department is that certain portions of the lands claimed by the petitioner are Government land (puramboke) and that the petitioner does not have any documents to prove his title to such property. Obviously, therefore, this is not a case where a writ will issue, though the petitioner may have effective alternate remedies before the competent civil courts. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed without prejudice to such course. If the petitioner has any other statutory remedies under the laws governing Government land, this WPC30104/09 -: 2 :- judgment will not stand in the way of the petitioner seeking such remedies also.
