Sathasivam had mentioned that the petitioner herein is objecting to conduct survey. But the petitioner herein was not shown as party to the writ petition. The writ petition was disposed of by the learned Single Judge on 05.06.2025 in the following terms:-

Tahsildar has to pass a speaking order. He has to take into account all the contentions urged by the petitioner herein. If the petitioner's contentions are over-ruled, survey cannot be conducted immediately thereafter. The petitioner will have to be given breathing time of four weeks thereafter so that the petitioner can move the Civil Court and get any interim relief. If the petitioner is not able to get any interim relief even thereafter, survey can go on as scheduled.

¶39

6.With the aforesaid observations, this miscellaneous petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, W.A.(MD)No.SR56196 of 2025 is also disposed of at the SR stage itself.
