D.Annadurai v. The Revenue Divisional Officer

ORDER The petitioner has submitted an application dated 18.04.2023 to the second respondent, for surveying his land in Survey No.126/4G1A situated at Bikshandarkoil Village, Manachanallur Taluk, Trichy District. Since the said application has not been considered, the present writ petition has been filed.

¶2Mr.G.V.Vairam Santhosh, learned Additional Government Pleader, who takes notice for the respondents 1 to 3, on instructions, submits that based on the petitioner's application, when the survey officials attempted to survey the land, at that time, the adjacent land owners have raised certain objection and therefore, survey could not be completed.

¶3If there is any objection from the adjacent land owners, the Survey Officer is expected to issue a notice to them and thereafter, he has to take a decision.

¶4Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 2 and 3 to issue a notice to the objectors, as per Section 10 of the Tamil Nadu Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923 and thereafter, take a decision in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If anybody is taking the law on his own hands, it is always open to the Survey Officials to seek police protection from the concerned Police Officials. No costs.
