Sivagami v. The Assistant Director

O R D E R Heard the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner and the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 to 3.

¶2The petitioner has clubbed the reliefs of conducting survey as well as issuance of patta in one breath.

¶3The learned Special Government Pleader points out that seeking the relief of conducting survey, the petitioner had earlier filed W.P.(MD)No.28866 of 2022 and the same was disposed of on 22.12.2022. Pursuant thereto, survey was conducted and proceedings were also issued by the Tahsildar 3 W.P.(MD)NO.25178 OF 2023 on 09.05.2023. It is seen that there are some discrepancies.

¶4I am of the view that unless the petitioner obtains individual patta in his favour, he cannot revive his prayer for conducting survey. The petitioner had already moved the second respondent for issuance of patta.

¶5The second respondent shall conduct enquiry and pass final order on merits and in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶6I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter. The second respondent shall put all the interested parties on notice before passing final order. It is open to the second respondent to pass order one way or the other. This writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. No costs.
