2. I have heard Mr.S.T.Sasidharan Tamilkani, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.M.Lingadurai, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even during the lifetime of the petitioner's father, an online application was made for survey based on patta number 722, standing in his name. However, subsequently, the petitioner's father died and his legal heirs decided to amicably partition the subject properties amongst themselves and in that regard, survey had become necessary. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner would make necessary online application and pay the necessary charges for the survey to be conducted. 2/4
