THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5595 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners state that they are the owners of an extent of Ac.6.98 cents of land in Survey No.142 of Agathavarappadu Village, Peddakakkani Mandal, Guntur District. It is stated that respondents 4 and 5 purchased an extent of Ac.0.50 cents in the same survey number and in the process of getting the boundaries fixed for their land, they have encroached into the land of the petitioner to an extent of 1210 square yards. It is alleged that the boundaries mentioned in the sale deed dated 16.01.1963 and the measurement book were not taken into account. In this background, the petitioners pray for re- measurement of the entire land in Survey No.142. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In case, the petitioners want the land in Survey No.142 to be measured for the first time, they have to make an application prescribed under the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act (for short ‘the Act’) and the rules made thereunder. The concerned authority would issue notice to the owners of the neighbouring lands and conduct survey on the basis of the available records. On the other hand, if the petitioners feel aggrieved by the survey, which was already conducted, two courses are open to them. The first is to file a departmental appeal before the superior authority and the second is to file a suit under Section 14 of the Act. The petitioners are not clear in this regard. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners either to file an application for conducting survey of their land or to avail the remedies, if any survey has already been conducted at the instance of respondents 4 and 5. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 19.03.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5595 of 2009 Date: 19.03.2009 JSU
