THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2002 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have submitted an application on 22.02.2008 to the Tahsildar and the Mandal Survyer, Prakasam District, respondents 2 and 3 herein respectively with a request to cause survey of the land admeasuring Ac.0.65 cents in Survey No.321/1 of Erracherla Village, Prakasam District and to fix the boundaries thereof. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the 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 he has made an 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. If the application filed by the petitioner was defective, in any manner, respondents 2 and 3 ought to have informed the same. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondents 2 and 3 to conduct survey of the land admeasuring Ac.0.65 cents in Survey No.321/1 of Erracherla Village, Prakasam District within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Respondents 2 and 3 shall issue notice to the affected parties and they 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:03.02.2010 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2002 of 2010 Date: 03.02.2010 JSU
