It is not in dispute that there any question of title is involved. 2 3. Therefore, the District Magistrate concerned is directed to carry out the survey by a competent surveyor begging from Civil Court or from any other place, which shall fix the point, conduct the survey and demarcate the boundaries of two Village Panchayats, in which they can operate freely without interference in each other’s rights of collection of forest produce in each other’s area. The survey shall be conducted with the consent of both the parties on the basis of latest settlement made and that may be on the basis of basic year on the date on which the Kumaon Uttarakhand Zamindari Abolition Act came into force ignoring the earlier boundaries. 4. With the aforesaid directions, writ petition is finally disposed of. No order as to costs. (P.C. Verma, J.) 1.9.2008 Rathour
