THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 16112 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 26th day of May, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner wants to cut an 'Anjili' tree which, according to the petitioner, stands in the property belonging to the petitioner. When he started cutting the tree, he was served with a stop memo by the Village Officer on a complaint filed by the 7th respondent on the ground that the Anjili tree stands in puramboke land. In order to ascertain whether the Anjili tree is standing in puramboke land, the petitioner, through the Panchayat , approached the survey authorities for surveying the property to decide the question. Petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that although initially they had started surveying, the same has been postponed indefinitely. The petitioner therefore seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P13 representation filed in this regard. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P13 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the survey has to be completed, the same also shall be completed within the said period. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
