Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.KOWTURU VINAYA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners seek a writ of mandamus, declaring the inaction on the part of the respondent in conducting survey and demarcation of land of petitioners situated in Sy.No.417/8A and 420/5 of Pothavaram village, Tadepalligudem Mandalam of West Godavari District, as illegal and arbitrary. According to the petitioners, the Government assigned land to them in Sy.Nos.417/8A and 420/5 of Pothavaram village. They contend that though pattas were issued, the entire extent of the land was not in their possession due to lack of proper demarcation. They made a representation to the respondent on 25.09.2004, requesting him to conduct survey and demarcate the land assigned to them, but so far no action has been taken. Hence the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for revenue, and with their consent, the writ petition itself is disposed of at the stage of admission. Since the representation of the petitioners dated 25.09.2004 is pending consideration before the respondent, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider the same and take appropriate action thereon in accordance with law expeditiously. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. dsr/nsr ASSISTANT REGISTRAR To: 1.
