The petitioner approached the District Collector under Section 13A of the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Act, 1961 pointing out certain anomalies re-survey. Exhibit P1 is the application.
2.
Petitioner submits that no decision has been taken yet in this matter. In the meanwhile, the petitioner has been served with a notice based on an application filed by the 5th respondent, to demarcate the property of the 5th respondent as well as the property of the petitioner. Petitioner further submits that unless the anomalies in resurvey are rectified, any exercise based on Exhibit P2 notice would be detrimental to his interest.
3.
This Court is of the view that the petitioner's request in Exhibit P1 shall considered along with Exhibit P2 and the District Collector shall give a direction to the Taluk Surveyor to re-survey the properties and also the Tahsildar to take appropriate action based on Exhibit P1 for rectifying the anomalies in resurvey. The above exercise in respect of rectifying anomalies in re-survey and demarcating the properties shall be done after issuing notice to both the parties. Till appropriate decision is taken pursuant to the directions issued by the District Collector as above, the proceedings based on Exhibit P2 shall be deferred. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, JUDGE) ms
