He is allegedly the owner of land admeasuring Ac.1.38 cents in Survey No.255/E situated in the said Village. He approached the District Collector on 13.03.2006 requesting to conduct survey and measure the land. In the said representation, he alleged that he paid the requisite fee and submitted the application to the District Survey and Land Record Officials, in vain. Even thereafter, he did not receive any response. Therefore, he filed the instant writ petition. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General). As rightly pointed out by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the petitioner ought to have made an application to the Mandal Revenue Officer duly paying a sum of Rs.200/- (Rupees Two Hundred only) by way of a challan. He did not do so. Further, in the absence of a proper application, this Court cannot give a direction to the second respondent to conduct the survey. Therefore, liberty is given to the petitioner to make an application to the second respondent as per the procedure within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As and when such application is received for survey, the second respondent shall take necessary action in accordance with the procedure as contemplated under the Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries Act, 1973, and complete the exercise within a period of eight weeks thereafter. The Writ Petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.07.2006 Note: Issue C.C in one week. B/o. vs
