THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 26921 of 2010 O R D E R: One Sri B.V. Krishna, said to be the husband of the 2nd petitioner herein, appears to have filed an application before Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation for measuring the site owned by him as per registered document bearing No. 128 of 1958 and for fixing its boundaries. The 2nd respondent Town Surveyor appears to have undertaken the survey operations and issued endorsement on 16.06.2010, in favour of the said Sri B.V. Krishna that the land claimed by him, as reflected in the registered document bearing No. 128 of 1958, is situate in town survey No. 1676, block No. 47 of Allipur ward and that the said land is not situate in town survey No. 1176, block No. 36 of Allipur ward. The writ petitioners are aggrieved by this endorsement only on the ground that the town surveyor has carried out the survey operations behind their back as well as the said Sri B.V. Krishna, the applicant. If only the 2nd respondent Town Surveyor has carried out the said operation in their presence or by issuing notice to them at least, they would have had an opportunity to represent their view point at the time of the said survey. Heard Sri N. Ranga Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent Corporation and with his consent, this Writ Petition is disposed of at this admission stage itself. The learned Standing Counsel would submit that there cannot be any objection, in principle, for the respondents, to put the said Sri B. V. Krishna, the applicant on notice and undertake the town survey as requested by him, only thereafter. Hence, the present impugned endorsement is set aside and the 2nd respondent Town Surveyor is directed to put the said applicant Sri B.V. Krishna on notice by informing him the date and time at which the survey operation will be undertaken by him. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. ------------------------------------ (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 29th October 2010 ksld
