PLEADER SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.21349 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 16th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioners have purchased certain properties in the year 1994 by Exts.P1 to P3 sale deeds. Since they were absentee land lords, survey stones of the properties were removed by somebody. They want to construct boundary walls in their properties after fixation of the boundary of the property by getting the same surveyed. In the above circumstances, the petitioners have filed Ext.P4 series of applications for the purpose, followed by Ext.P6 reminder. The petitioners' grievance in this writ petition is that although Ext.P4 series of applications were filed on 12.3.2008, no steps have been taken in respect thereof. The petitioners, therefore, seek the following reliefs: “i) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing respondents 2 and 3 to survey and demarcate the properties of the petitioners on the basis of Exhibit P4 applications in accordance with the provision contained in Survey and Boundary Rules, 1964. ii) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the 1st respondent to dispose of Exhibit-P6 representation within a reasonable time after affording the petitioners an opportunity of being heard and to issue directions to respondents 2 and 3 for survey and demarcation of the properties of the petitioners.” w.p.c.21349/08 2 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to complete the survey of the petitioners' properties and fix boundaries thereof as requested for in Ext.P4 series applications, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment before respondents 2 and 3 for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
