¶1Heard learned Counsel for the parties and perused the record.

2.The present petition has been filed for the following relief: "(i) To issue a writ order or direction in the nature of Mandamus directing the respondent no.2 be directed to consider the representation dated 01.9.2023 made by the petitioner and in the light of the application the petitioner land Gata No.221 Area, 0.3000 hectare situated Gram Bara, Pargana Akarabad, Tehsil Koil, District Aligarh be restored and the illegal fencing be removed from the petitioner land."

¶3Learned Standing Counsel has raised a preliminary objection that from perusal of the prayer claimed in the writ petition as well as the representation, it appears that a proper course for the petitioner is to get his land demarcated in proceedings under Section 24 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006.

¶4In view of the above, I am not inclined to entertain this petition.

¶5Accordingly, the present petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to move an appropriate application under Section 24 of the Land Revenue Code, 2006. In case, the petitioner moves such an application within 15 days from today, the respondent no.2 is directed to consider and decide the same expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of certified copy of this order after giving opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned and without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties provided that there is no other legal impediment.
