However, the same was not considered, as on date. Hence, this writ petition.

¶5Considering the limited relief sought by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, directs the first respondent to consider the petitioner's online application dated

26.02.2026 and carry out a survey and complete the process, after giving prior notice to the petitioner as well as respondents 3 to 9 and other aggrieved parties, if any within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event any obstruction is made by the respondents 3 to 9, it is open to the first respondent to request for police protection before the second respondent/jurisdictional police. If any such request is made, the second respondent/jurisdictional police is directed to provide an adequate police protection for conducting the survey.

¶6It is made clear that this order is passed only for the purpose of issuing a direction to the official respondent to conduct a survey and lay boundary stones at the subject land. In the event any dispute arises regarding the possession of the subject property, the same has to be decided by way of filing a suit before the competent Civil Court. Page4 of 5
