3. The case of the petitioner is that he was doing agricultural activities in the lands in Survey No.132 situated at Velakalahalli Village, Palacode Taluk, Dharmapuri District. Due to separation of family, a partition deed was executed and Survey Nos.132/5 and 132/6 were allotted to the petitioner, in which land he is now carrying on agricultural activities. It is the grievance of the petitioner that since there is no boundary stones for the land of the petitioner, there occurs dispute between the family members. Hence, the 2/4
