THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26375 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners claimed rights over an extent of Ac.1.00 of land in Survey No.176 of Kondapur Village, on the strength of a registered agreement of sale-cum- General Power of Attorney dated 27.02.2008. There was some dispute between the petitioners on the one hand and the 3rd respondent on the other. It is stated that Crime No.443 of 2008 was also registered in this regard. The dispute appears to be mostly in relation to the boundaries. Therefore, with a view to have a clear picture of the matter, the petitioners submitted an application before the 1st respondent to conduct survey and fix the boundaries for the land purchased by them in Survey No.176. The grievance of the petitioners is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act and the rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure for conducting survey of the land and demarcation of boundaries. The concerned authorities are placed under obligation to undertake such activities, as and when applications are made. It is not known as to whether the petitioners submitted an application in the prescribed form and paid the stipulated fee. A notice is required to be issued to the neighbouring owners, whenever survey is conducted. The 1st respondent did not issue any communication to the petitioners on the said application nor the survey was conducted. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of directing that it shall be open to the petitioners to make a fresh application in the prescribed form enclosing the challan for the stipulated fee, to the 1st respondent; and as and when such application is made, the 1st respondent shall cause survey of the land and fix the boundaries, after following the prescribed procedure within (1) one month from the date of receipt of the application. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 23.01.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26375 of 2008 Date: 23.01.2009 JSU
