2. The petitioner had submitted an online application on 03.03.2025 for the aforesaid purpose. Since the same has not been considered till date, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.

3. Mr. C. Jayaprakash, learned Government Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 and 2. Mr.Venkatatesa Perumal, learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) accepts notice on behalf of the respondent No.3. Since no adverse orders are passed against the respondents 4 to 6, notice to the respondents 4 to 6 is dispensed with by this Court.

4. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 would submit, on instructions, that the property, for which survey and demarcation of boundaries is sought for through this writ petition has already

been sold by the petitioner in the year 2025. However, the same is disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner.

5. This Court is not expressing any opinion on the merits of the respective contentions before this Court. Only in case where the petitioner is owning the property, survey and demarcation of the boundaries of the property can be done by the official respondents. It is for the petitioner to establish the same before the respondents 1 and 2.
