¶2Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials available on record.

¶3The petitioner owned a land comprised in New survey number S.F.No.85/12B, Sultan Street, Puliampatti Village, Gobichettipalayam, Erode district. In order to survey the said land, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 14.02.2026 before the 1st respondents. Subsequently, when the revenue officials attempted to conduct survey on 11.04.2026, the private respondents, namely the 2nd respondents, who has no right over the subject property unlawfully interfered with the survey proceedings, threatened the petitioner, revenue officials and prevented the survey proceedings. Therefore, the petitioner has made a representation dated 10.04.2026 to the 1st respondent Page3 of 4 seeking adequate police protection to the revenue officials to conduct survey and demarcation in the subject property. Since the said representation evoked no response, this writ petition has been filed by the petitioner.

¶4In view of the above, Surveyor is directed to survey the petitioner's aforesaid land based on the title deed produced by the petitioner, after issuance of notice to the adjacent land owners and counter parties, if any, and to serve the survey report to the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. It is made clear that, if the surveyor concerned is obstructed by third parties while surveying the subject property, the said surveyor can approach the jurisdictional police seeking police aid and on such request, the jurisdictional police shall provide adequate police protection to the surveyor.

¶5With the above directions, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 25-06-2026 SMA Page4 of 4
