4. The specific contention put forth in the affidavit is that the respondents 1 & 2 have not taken any steps to demarcate the petitioner's land. Further, adjacent land owners namely the respondents 4 to 7 are also causing disturbance to the petitioner's possession. He would, therefore, also seeks for police protection at the time of survey the petitioner's land.

Considering the limited prayer sought for in the writ petition, I am inclined to issue a direction to the first and second respondents to conduct survey with the assistance of the officials of the third respondent and also after putting the respondents 4 to 7 on notice about the proposed survey. The said exercise shall be completed within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
