“1.

application for measurement already submitted through online.”

¶27

The main grievance of the petitioner is that despite several representations having been filed by the petitioner for demarcation of his land, no step has been taken by the Circle Officer for demarcating the petitioner’s land and in this regard, the petitioner’s counsel has drawn the court’s attention to the Annexure-P2 series which show that the petitioner was directed to deposit the required fee and only thereafter the date for demarcation was to be fixed. The petitioner’s counsel is not certain whether the required fee has been deposited by the petitioner or not and further Annexure-P4 series shows that the petitioner has made allegation of encroachment against the private respondents for which the petitioner has efficacious remedy under the specific civil laws in this regard.

¶28

Accordingly, this Court does not find any merit in this writ petition at this stage and the same is premature, hence, the writ petition stands disposed of as being not entertainable at this stage.
