¶2Mr.M.Senthamizh Selvan, learned Government's counsel, takes notice on behalf of the respondents. Page2 of 6

¶3By consent of the parties, the main petition is taken up for disposal in the stage of admission itself.

¶4The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that in this case, the petitioner filed a representation dated 20.02.2026 before the respondents, requesting them to depute a competent surveyor to survey and fix the boundaries in respect of the subject lands. However, the said representation was not at all considered by the 1st respondent till date. Hence, this petition.

¶5In reply, the learned counsel for the respondent would submit that the petitioner's representation will be disposed of within a period of 8 weeks and hence, she requests this Court to pass appropriate orders.

¶8It is made clear that this order is passed only for the purpose of issuing a direction to the official respondent for conducting survey and laying boundary stones at the subject land. If there is any dispute with regard to the possession over the said property, the same has to be decided only by way of filing a suit before an appropriate Civil Court.

¶9If any police protection is required at the time of conducting survey, the official respondents are granted liberty to avail the same by approaching the jurisdictional police station. In such case, the concerned police officer shall provide all necessary assistance to the official respondents till the completion of survey at the subject land.
