P (C) No. 18406 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th June, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner of certain lands in Cheraneloor Village, Valom Desom as per Exts.P1 and P2 documents. There was a dispute raised by the 5th respondent in respect of the extent of the adjacent property belonging to the 5th respondent. On 15-11-2007, the 4th respondent measured the property of the 5th respondent alone and decided that part of the property of the 5th respondent has to be adjusted from the petitioner's property. The petitioner submits that the question as to the correct measurements cannot be decided by measuring the 5th respondent's property alone, but the extent has to be decided by measuring both the properties of the petitioner as well as the 5th respondent, which, according to the petitioner, has not been done by the 4th respondent in this case. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext. P4 representation before the 3rd respondent. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 5th respondent at present. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 5th respondent, and, if any further measurements have to be conducted, the same shall be W.P.C. No. 18406/2008. -: 2 :- completed within two months thereafter. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 3rd respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
