Since there is some boundary dispute in the said land, he approached the respondents seeking survey and demarcation of the said land and also paid the requisite fees on 9.4.2007 and made a representation on 12.4.2007. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he paid the requisite fees seeking survey and demarcation of his land as long back as on 9.4.2007, the respondents have not taken any action so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is tken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. Since the petitioner has already approached the respondents seeking survey of the land and paid the prescribed fees in the year 2007 itself, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue that instead of this Court going into the merits of the matter, the authorities may be directed to take appropriate action on the representation of the petitioner, for which the learned counsel for the petitioner also agreed. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take appropriate action on the representation dated 12.4.2007 of the petitioner seeking survey and demarcation of his land as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. N.V.RAMANA, DT.25.8.2008 msv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1 The Tahsildar, Shamshabad Mandal, Shamshabad, R.R.
