THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28066 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have submitted an application on 22.03.2007 to the Tahsildar, Khammam Urban Mandal, Khammam District, respondent No.3 herein with a request to cause survey of the land admeasuring Ac.2.08 guntas in Survey No.236/A of Khanapuram Haveli, Khammam Urban Mandal, Khammam District and to fix the boundaries thereof. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The Andhra Pradesh Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923 and the Rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure for survey of lands and fixation of boundaries. On submission of an application and payment of prescribed fee, the authority concerned has to undertake the survey and fixation of boundaries. The petitioner states that he has made an application way back in the year 2007 and so far, no action has been taken thereon. By any standard, the inaction for such a long time cannot be countenanced. If the application filed by the petitioner was defective, in any manner, respondent No.3 ought to have informed the same. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.3 to conduct survey of the land admeasuring Ac.2.08 guntas in Survey No.236/A of Khanapuram Haveli, Khammam Urban Mandal, Khammam District within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Respondent No.3 shall issue notice to the affected parties and he may require the petitioner to comply with the deficiencies, if any, in the application. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:04.02.2010 Note: Issue C.C. in one week.
