3. A careful examination of the sale deed bearing docurnent No. 1360 of L97 | reveals that Yaddanapudi Surya Prakasa Rao has purchased open plot located in various survey nurnbers' It is not the case of the petitioners that the subject property is agricuttura! ., CVBR. J Wp 1408 2025 land and that they paid stamp duty or registration fees on acre basis. The schedule of property in the sale deed establishes that the nature of the property is an open plot, admeasuring 416-62 square yards. It is settled law that the Survey Department has the authority to conduct survey and demarcate lands in accordance with the provisions of the Telangana Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasti (Act No. VIII of 1317 Fasli), the Telangana Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923, and the Rules framed thereunder. The Government has rssusd va-iolts ciicu specifying the conditions for conducting surveys, particularly F-Line (field measurement) sr.trveys. Individuals requesting such surveys are required to submit specific documents, and if the conditions sdpulated in the circulars are fulfilled, the survey and boundary fixation may be conducted. The Commissioner, Survey, Settlements, and Land Records, exerqising powers under the Telangana survey and Boundaries Act, 1g23, issued re levant circulars from time vide Rc.No.Nl/6543/99, dated 2S.OZ.2OOt, Rc.No.Nl/ l4O8/O7, dated 13.07.2OO7, and Rc.No.N2/ tZ4t/2OtO, dared t8.0S.2OtO stipulating thc conditions for conducting survey of private lands. The said Circulars outline that only agricultural lands are eligible for survey by the Survey Department. [n contrast, individuals eqrning plor,s within approved [ayouts, m un icipali l_ies, Gram J CVBR. J Wp_tao8 2025 Panchayats, or Municipal Corporations are required to engage Licensed Surveyors appointed by the Government for such surveys' as these lands are no longer considered agricultural' In the instant case, the petitioners' land is clearty identif ied as open plot but not agricultural land. Since the petitioners' property is not agricultural land, the Survey Department has no jurisdiction to conduct F-Line Survey as per the Circulars issued by the Commissioner' Survey' Settlements, and Land Records' For the aforesaid reasons' this Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed'

4. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed ' However' the petitioners are at liberty to take the services of licensed surveyor for conducting the survey of their property i'e'' open plot' if they are so advised. As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending' if any' shall stand closed. There shatl be no order as to costs' //TRUE COPY// S D/. L. LAKSHMI BABU ISTANT RE GISTRAR SECTION OFFICER
