R1-4 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SHRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: VK ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 8230 of 2010 C ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 24th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioners claim to be the legal heirs of one Cheethakunjan Bava, who died intestate. According to the petitioners, the deceased had absolute title and possession over 20 cents of land as per patta No.PP 488 and situated in survey No.778/1 of Kadamakkudy village in Kanayannur Taluk. It is stated that following the resurvey that was conducted, on account of a mistake, the extent of property was shown as 9 cents. According to the petitioners, after acquisition for Kadamakkudy – Varappuzha road, they still had title over 18 cents of land. It is stated that seeking correction of the aforesaid mistake, they made Exts.P3, P4 and P5 representations and that respondents have not taken any action for correcting the mistake. 2. Learned Government Pleader, who has obtained instructions in the matter, submits that though on resurvey the W.P.(C) No.8230/2010 : 2 : extent of the property was originally recorded as 9 cents, on receipt of the complaints from the petitioners, the matter was enquired into and that it was found that the petitioners had title and possession over 10.5 cents. It is stated that on finding out the aforesaid mistake, correction has been made in the survey records. 3. Thus, it is evident that the contention that respondents remained inactive on the representations made by the petitioners for correction of the survey records is factually erroneous. Now that the survey records have been corrected and the extent of property has been indicated as 10.5 cents, if the petitioners are still aggrieved, it is for them to seek remedy in the appropriate proceedings. With that liberty, this writ petition is closed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
