3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioners are the owners of the subject property (morefully described in para No.2 of this order), since, one of the petitioners neighbour is attempting to trespass into the petitioners' property, the petitioners made a written representation to the third respondent on 12.06.2023, seeking for demarcation of the property, however, as on date, no action has been taken by the third respondent in pursuance of such representation, which necessitated the petitioners to approach this Court by way of present Writ Petition seeking for aforesaid relief. It is further submitted that the petitioner also paid required fee towards survey of the property and therefore, seeks for appropriate direction.
4. Learned Government Advocate for respondents fairly submitted that the prayer sought for by the petitioner would be considered and appropriate steps would be taken by the respondent-Authorities, if a direction is issued in that regard.
