WRIT PETITION No.21258 OF 2019

¶12

ORDER:

¶13

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue for respondents 1 to 5.

¶14

Aggrieved by conducting of survey and fixing the boundaries to Survey No.175 (Old) (418 New) of Shaikpet Village, petitioner preferred appeal on 12.07.2018 addressed to the Regional Deputy Director. Alleging inaction on the appeal preferred by the petitioner, this Writ Petition is filed.

¶15

Petitioner also submitted representations to the Deputy Chief Minister and the same were forwarded to the Commissioner, Survey, Settlements and Land Records.

¶16

Learned counsel for the petitioner sought to contend that in view of the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No.43914 of 2016, the Deputy Director, Survey and Land Records, was to conduct survey and therefore on the grievance of improper conducting of survey, the petitioner has submitted representations to the Deputy Chief Minister. The Deputy Chief Minister referred the representations to the Commissioner and he alone has to consider the appeal.

¶17

However, the fact remains that the survey was conducted by the Inspector of Survey. Therefore, against the order of Inspector of Survey, appeal shall lie to the Deputy Director, Survey and Land Records. Whereas, appeal was preferred to the Regional Deputy
