By relying on a sale deed dated 14.07.2025 and patta No.6984 in the name of the petitioner, the petitioner had applied for a survey of the land in survey No.242/3A of an extent of 11.5 cents. On the ground that such application was not acted upon, the present Writ Petition has been filed.

2. Learned Additional Government Pleader accepts notice on behalf of both the respondents. On instructions, he submits that the petitioner's vendor's sister had raised objections to the conduct of a survey.

4. Based on the documents submitted by the petitioner, the 2/4

petitioner has made out a case to consider the request for survey. In view of the submissions of learned Additional Government Pleader, before conducting such survey, notice should be issued to the petitioner's vendor's sister, Periyakka and to the owners of relevant adjacent lands.
