2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that his application for demarcation is pending consideration before the Revenue Authorities since 2015 onwards, however it has till date not been finalized. In between, there is a report of the Patwari as also from the Revenue Inspector that there is a possibility of the property belonging to the petitioner being taken over in the course of

construction of High Court Residential Colony and the same issue can be clarified on the demarcation being completed.

3. Learned Deputy Advocate General submits that the writ petition may be disposed of directing the Revenue Authorities to conduct the demarcation in accordance with law. The learned counsel for Respondent No.5 further submits that the issue involved in the matter is that of demarcation and the Registrar General of the High Court as such do not have any role to play in the demarcation proceedings conducted by the respondents, nor is there any relief sought for against the High Court, therefore the Registrar General is not a necessary party to the writ petition itself.

4. Be that as it may, since the claim of the petitioner is for demarcation of his property that situates in khasra No. 314 measuring 0.95 acre in Village Bodri, Tehsil Bilha, District Bilaspur ends of justice would meet if the the writ petition is disposed of directing the Revenue Authorities to conduct the demarcation proceedings in accordance with law at the earliest preferably within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of the copy of this order.

5. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioner seeking demarcation. The order of demarcation has to be passed strictly in accordance with law.

6. With the aforesaid observations, the present writ petition stands disposed of.
