BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).25499/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 15th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner claims to be the owner of 2.50 acres of land in survey No.265/6 and 265/1 of Thiruvali Village which he obtained under Ext.P1 document. Her property is lying contiguous to the brother's property. Petitioner therefore, submitted an application before the second respondent for surveying the properties and fixing the boundaries, allotting separate sub divisions to the separate owners. Ext.P3 application was apparently submitted in the year 2005. Though Ext.P4 intimation was issued intimating that the property will be measured and that the sub division boundaries will be fixed, nothing has happened thereafter and hence the writ petition. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. 3. The measurement of properties and fixation of boundaries are contemplated under the Survey and W.P.(C).25499/2008 2 Boundaries Act. In the circumstances, second respondent is directed to take appropriate action on Ext.P3 application and see that the property is measured and boundary is fixed within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Obviously if there is a dispute as regards the boundaries, then notice shall be issued by the second respondent to the neighbouring property owner also. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
