THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.6205 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to have purchased an extent of 500 sq.yards of land, bearing M.C.No.10-5-4/1/B/1, Masab Tank, Hyderabad, through sale deed dated 30-08-2001. They traced their origin of title through a purchase made by one Smt.P.N.Vijay Lakshmi, through sale deed dated 26-12-1962. The petitioners submitted application dated 04-01-2009 to the Assistant Director of Survey, Settlements and Land Records, Hyderabad, the 1st respondent herein, with a prayer to identify the plot purchased by them, and to fix the boundaries therefor. Their grievance is that no action has been taken upon their application. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It is no doubt true that the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act prescribed the procedure for survey of lands and fixation of boundaries, whenever an application is made in the prescribed form. The facility, however, is limited to the survey of the lands in entire survey number, or some recognized division thereof. The petitioners claim to have purchased only 500 sq. yards of land; and the application is silent about the survey number. Therefore, the respondents cannot be expected to take any steps on the application made by the petitioners. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to file an application after obtaining necessary sub-division of the survey number, and make an application for survey thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.25-03-2009. KO
