Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.C.DAMODAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled by the petitioner aggrieved by the action of the 3rd respondent in not conducting survey and ﬁxing the boundaries in respect of the land in Sy.No. 31 of Chengicherla Village, Ghatkesar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District in pursuance of the Letter No.A3/332/2008 dated 21.02.2008. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition itself is taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage. The brief facts which are necessary for the disposal of this writ petition are that the petitioner made an application to the Collector and respondents 1 and 2 herein who are the Assistant Director of Survey and Land Records and the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer, Hyderabad East Division requesting them to correct the revenue records by submitting all the relevant documents and on verifying the documents, the Collector issued letter dated 29.11.2006 directing the Tahsildar, Ghatkesar Mandal, the 3 rd respondent herein to conduct enquiry and to correct the pahanies. Pursuant to the said directions, the 3rd respondent without conducting any survey, after veriﬁcation of the documents, issued proceedings dated 22.12.2007 for correction of entries. Questioning the same, it is stated that the petitioner again approached the 3rd respondent to survey the land and to ﬁx boundaries and also paid requisite fees but so far no action has been taken by the 3rd respondent to conduct survey of the lands. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted an application to the 1st respondent on 19.2.2008 seeking survey and sub-division of her patta land in Sy.No.31 of Chengicherla Village, Ghatkesar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District pursuant to which a letter dated 21.2.2008 was issued to the 3rd respondent requesting him to instruct the Mandal Surveyor for survey and sub-division of the land. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent has slept over the matter and is not taking any steps pursuant to the letter dated 21.2.2008 of the 1st respondent. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that since the 1st respondent had already directed the 3rd respondent to instruct the Mandal Surveyor to conduct surveyconduct enquiry, instead of this Court going into the merits of the matter, the authorities may be directed to complete the enquiry and to conduct survey the subject matter of lands in order to make necessary corrections in the revenue records, for which the learned counsel for the petitioner also agreed. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of matter, the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Ghatkesar Mandal is directed to conduct survey as per the directions of the 1st respondent after issuing notice to necessary parties as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.06.11.2008 NOTE: Furnish CC in one week (B/o) msv
