HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.9325 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner seeks to issue a Mandamus to direct the Mandal Revenue Officer, Manopadu Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District (second respondent) to forthwith appoint the Mandal Surveyor, in pursuance of his representations dated 25.06.2004 and 11.04.2005, to survey his land admeasuring Ac.2.21 guntas in Sy.No.101/B situated at Amaravai Village, Manopadu Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. It is stated that the petitioner filed a suit in O.S.No.43 of 2001 and had obtained a decree as the adjacent owner tried to occupy his land. On the ground of boundary dispute, the petitioner approached the second respondent by paying challan on 18.06.2003 to survey his land and demarcate with specific boundaries. Thereafter he approached the second respondent on 25.06.2004, along with a challan, requesting to survey his land and had enclosed the title deeds thereto. By proceedings dated 22.06.2004, the second respondent made an endorsement stating that as the petitioner’s land was already surveyed by the earlier Mandal Surveyor he was directed to approach the higher authorities for resurveying. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite his representations dated 25.06.2004 and 11.04.2005, along with challan, no action was taken. Hence the Writ Petition. A counter affidavit is filed by respondent No.2 stating that, pursuant to the application of the petitioner, along with challan, for survey of his land in Sy.No.101/B of Amarvai Village, Manopadu Mandal, the then Mandal Revenue Officer referred the matter to the Deputy Inspector of Survey and Land Records, Gadwal on 30.06.2004, who visited the village on 07.11.2008 and conducted demarcation of the land in Sy.No.101 of an extent of Ac.5.03 guntas of Amarvai Village, Manopadu Mandal. The proceeding of the Deputy Inspector, Gadwal, dated 07.11.2008, are enclosed along with the counter stating that the land in Sy.No.101 of an extent Ac.5.03 gts. had been surveyed and boundaries were fixed based on the village map. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that as the application of the petitioner stands disposed of, either he has to file an appeal against the proceedings of the Deputy Inspector, Gadwal dated 07.11.2008 or file a civil suit to protect his rights in respect of his land in Sy.No.101/B. In view of the facts stated in the counter affidavit, it cannot be said that the second respondent has not taken any action on the representations of the petitioner. The Writ Petition as filed is without merits and is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. V. ESWARAIAH,J Date:11.02.2011 usd
