Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.E.SAMBASIVA PRATAP Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the stage of admission made the following: ORDER: The petitioners claim to be joint owners and possessors of dry land admeasuring Ac.6.13 guntas in Survey No.44/1 situated at Maktha Mahaboobpet village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The grievance of the petitioners is that when the adjoining land owners are trying to disturb the boundaries of their land and to encroach the same, they made an application to the 1st respondent-Deputy Director, Telangana Region Survey and Land Records on 03.01.2004 with requisite fees for survey and demarcation of their land, but so far the same is not being considered. Hence they filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Both the counsel agreed to dispose of the writ petition at the stage of admission. Since the application of the petitioners dated 03.01.2004 for survey and demarcation of their land is said to be pending consideration before the respondents, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ________________ (N.V. RAMANA, J) Date: 17.12.2004 Nsr/Msv .....
