No.13/A of Bandlaguda Village, Rajendra Nagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy Dist. as arbitrary, illegal, unconstitutional and violative of the petitioner's fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 14 and 19(1) (g) of the Constitution and direct the respondents to conduct the survey of the land and demarcate the boundaries within a specified period in the interest of justice. Counsel for the Petitioners: M/S.MOHAN VINOD & ASSOCIATES Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the admission stage made the following: ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of land admeasuring Acs.13.20 gts in Survey No.13/A of Bandlaguda village, Rajendranagar Mandal in Ranga Reddy District. They claim to have purchased the same under registered sale deed dated 02.01.2004. When the neighbours of the petitioners raised a boundary dispute and tried to encroach the land, the petitioners made a representation to the second respondent seeking survey of the land and boundaries, in vain. Therefore, they filed the present Writ Petition. The petitioners purchased the property only on 02.01.2004 and gave representation to the second respondent on 06.07.2004. The petitioners may approach the Mandal Revenue Officer, as the MRO cannot be expected to immediately attend to the need of the petitioner to survey. In a case of this nature, this Court cannot exercise extraordinary powers and issue Mandamus, directing the MRO to survey the land. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is dismissed. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 12th August 2004 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copy To: 1.
