¶31

By consent of the parties, the main petition is taken up for disposal in the stage of admission itself.

¶32

The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that in this case, the petitioner filed an application dated 02.02.2026 before the respondents 1 to 4, requesting them to survey and demarcate the subject land. However, the said representation was not at all considered by the official respondents till date. Hence, this petition.
