This writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to consider the petitioner's objection petition dated 06.01.2026 before surveying the property morefully described in the prayer to this writ petition.

3. Mr.R.P.Murugan Raja, learned Government Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3. Since no adverse orders are passed against the respondents 4 and 5, notice to them in this writ petition is dispensed with.

4. The petitioner claims to be the neighbouring land owner, for which, a request was made by the respondents 4 and 5 to survey and demarcate the

boundaries of the subject property. No prejudice will be caused to the second respondent if a direction is issued to the said authority to consider the objections raised by the petitioner before surveying and demarcating the boundaries of the subject property based on the request made by the respondents 4 and 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the second respondent to give due consideration to the petitioner's objection petition dated 06.01.2026 before surveying and demarcating the boundaries of the subject property based on the request made by the respondents 4 and 5.
