V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.15501 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 17th June,2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to have purchased an extent of 5 acres, 8 cents 250 sq. links of land under Exhibits P1 to P4 sale deeds and sought for a measurement of the property. According to the petitioner, an application was submitted on 30.12.2008 before the 3rd respondent is evidenced by Exhibit-P4. 2. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that no such application is seen on the files of the 3rd respondent. I do not think it is necessary to finally dissolve the controversy as to whether an application was received by the 3rd respondent or any other officer attached to this office. If the petitioner or authorized representative files an application for measurement of the property covered by Exhibits P1 to P4, in terms of Rule 43 of the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Rules, 1964, within three weeks from today, the same shall be W.P ( C) No.15501 of 2009 2 considered and property shall be measured after notice to the neighbouring owners and survey sketch be supplied to the petitioner within three weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of an application.
