¶21

The case of the petitioner is that he made an online application on 09.11.2023 to survey his land and also paid the requisite fee through e- Challan No.20231109001024. Since there was no action, he made a representation dated 05.02.2024 to the 2^nd respondent. However, the 2^nd respondent has not taken any action. Hence, the present Writ Petition is filed.

¶22

Mr.T.Arun Kumar, learned Additional Government Pleader who takes notice for the respondents drew the attention of this Court to page No.32 of the typed set in which, there is a photograph of a notice board stating that there is a case pending in respect of Survey No.210/2A.

¶23

However, since the Writ Petition is filed seeking a simple Writ of Mandamus, this Court, without expressing any opinion with regard to the merits of the case, directs the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner's online application dated 09.11.2023 and the representation dated 05.02.2024
