Considering the narrow scope of prayer in the writ petition, namely to dispose of the petitioner's application for survey of lands, with the consent of either side, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.

Despite several representations being made to the respondents, survey has not been conducted.

4.The prayer in the writ petition is only for conducting survey and it also appears that no interest of third parties is involved. 2/4
