THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1159 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner states that he purchased an extent of Ac.7.32 cents of land in Survey Nos.30/B & C of Karuchola Village, Yadlapadu Mandal in the year 2002. On noticing that the boundary dispute between his father i.e., 5th respondent herein on the one hand and one Mr.Lakhsma Reddy on the other is likely to have its affect on the land purchased by him, the petitioner filed an application dated 09.09.2009 before the 4th respondent with a request to cause survey and fix boundaries of his land. Acting on the same, the 4th respondent issued notice dated 07.01.2010 proposing to conduct survey on 12.01.2010. The petitioner states that the survey was not conducted on account of the objections raised by certain individuals. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The application submitted by the petitioner on 09.09.2009 was acted upon and the 4th respondent has issued notice dated 07.01.2010 as required under the A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act to the petitioner as well as the immediate neighbours. The survey was to take place on 12.01.2010. The reasons on account of which the survey could not be taken up are not immediately before this Court. Even if any neighbour raises any objection, the survey must proceed and the aggrieved party has to work out his remedies in accordance with law. Since causing of survey and fixation of boundaries is a statutory obligation, the 4th respondent cannot stop the survey. Police protection, if necessary, can be taken and the survey must be completed. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to complete the survey of the land held by the petitioner within two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 28.01.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1159 of 2010 Date: 28.01.2010 JSU
