The above writ petition has been filed by the petitioner to issue a writ of mandamus, directing the second respondent to survey and measure the petitioner's plot situated in Survey No.315/2A1B measuring an extent of 3510 sq.ft at Veeraganur Village, Gangavalli Taluk, Salem District, by considering the petitioner's representation dated 29.01.2015.

2. According to the petitioner, the land in Survey No.315/2A1B measures an extent of 1.11 acres and in the said land, the petitioner purchased an extent of 3510 square feet. Thereafter, the land was sub-divided and survey number was given as 315/2A1B.
