Vijayakumar v. The Tahsildar

O R D E R The petitioner, with a grievance that his application for conducting survey in S.No.105/15, situated at Jothilnayakanur Village, Usilampatti Taluk, Madurai District, has not been considered by the first respondent, has filed the present writ petition.

¶2The learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 and 2, on instructions, submits that the petitioner has not produced the relevant records for conducting the survey and the third respondent is claiming right over the property. However, both the parties have not produced the documents and created a quarrel. Therefore, the first respondent has not proceeded further to survey the land.

¶3The petitioner claims that he has paid necessary fee for conducting the survey and he is having necessary documents. In the event the third respondent is raising certain objections, the first respondent shall issue notice to the third respondent and the petitioner and conduct an enquiry as provided under Section 10 of the Tamil Nadu Survey and Boundaries Act. The petitioner is also directed to produce the relevant documents during the enquiry. The first respondent shall pass appropriate orders either to measure the land or to reject the claim of the petitioner within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶4Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
