THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.9252 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner and pattadar of 17 acres of land in Sy.No.730 of Palvoncha Village, Khammam District. Way back on 31-12-2005, he filed an application before the respondent herein with a request to conduct survey of his land, and to fix the boundaries thereof. Alleging inaction on the application, the petitioner filed W.P.No.2856 of 2006. The writ petition was disposed of on 16-02-2006, directing the respondent herein to take necessary steps, on the representation made by the petitioner. Thereafter, the petitioner is said to have deposited a sum of Rs.310/- on 25-10-2008, as per the directions of the respondent. His grievance is that, in spite of deposit of the amount, no steps were taken by the respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act, and the Rules made thereunder prescribed the procedure to be followed for conducting survey of lands and fixation of boundaries. Whenever an application is filed, duly remitting the prescribed fee, the respondent is under obligation to conduct the survey. In case there exists any impediment for conducting the survey, the same need to be informed to the applicant. The matter cannot be kept pending, indefinitely. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to arrange for survey and fixation of boundaries of land in Sy.No.730 of Palvoncha village, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In case the respondent finds it difficult, or impossible to conduct the survey, for any reason, the same shall be communicated to the petitioner within that time. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt. 30-04-2009. KO
