ORDER

The petitioner has sought for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus to direct the respondents to survey the petitioner's property.

2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mrs.S.Jeyapriya, learned Government Advocate appearing for the official respondents.

3. The petitioner having purchased the property way back in the year 1983 and also having mutated patta in his name in patta No.816 has sought for survey to be conducted by making an online application on 03.09.2024. Despite the said application made in September 2024, there is no progress and hence, the petitioner has filed the instant writ petition.

4. Considering the limited scope of the relief sought for, with the consent of parties, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal.

5. The petitioner claims right under a valid sale deed as well as the revenue records standing in his name and hence, there can be no impediment for the authorities to conduct the survey as required by 2/4

petitioner. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of with a direction to the first respondent, with the assistance of the second respondent to conduct survey based on the petitioner's application dated 03.09.2024 and pass final orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
