The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner submitted an Online Application No.2025/0123/10/005542 dated 11.07.2025 and paid the necessary fees, for conducting survey of his property comprised in S.F.No.736/1A1 measuring an extent of 1.25 acres situated at Kannadipudhur Kavindapadi, Bhavani Taluk, Erode District and erecting boundary stones to fix the boundaries. Thereafter, petitioner also submitted a Representation dated 14.07.2025 to the respondents, for the very same request, however, the respondents have not yet considered petitioner's request till date.

fix boundaries of the subject property within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.
