Nos. 163, 164, 202, 204, 205, 225, 226, 195, 197, 198, 199 200 201, 203 and 227 total extent around 145 acres situated at Nemarugomula Village, Bibinagar Mandal, Nalgonda District and the same are ancestral and they are undivided right from their grand fathers. After them, his name was recorded in the revenue records and pass books were also issued to him and also to his brother. Certain portion of the land was sold by their uncle’s daughter in favour of third parties and certain persons who encroached the property removed the boundary stones of the survey numbers facilitating encroachers to occupy the land. In those circumstances, he approached respondents 3 and 4 to issue certified copies of the Sethwar Tippons and also paid necessary challan for issuance of the documents and also remitted the necessary fee for surveying the land and to fix the boundaries. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he made necessary application by paying the prescribed fee and challan, the authorities have not initiated any action so far for deputing a surveyor to conduct survey Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for hearing at the admission stage itself. Since the petitioner has already submitted his representation seeking appointment of a surveyor for surveying the lands in Sy. Nos. 163, 164, 202, 204, 205, 225, 226, 195, 197, 198, 199 200 201, 203 and 227 total extent around 145 acres situated at Nemarugomula Village, Bibinagar Mandal, Nalgonda District, without going into the merits of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner and take necessary action expeditiously.
