2. It is stated that the petitioners are the owners and possessors of the land admeasuring Acs.2.77 guntas in Sy.No.256 and its sub-division numbers, situated at Zaffargadh Village and Mandal, .Iangaon District. It is further stated that 2 CVBR, J Wp 12182,2025 when disputes arose and the neighbouring o\ /ners have caused inconvenience for enjoyment of the subject property, the petitioners were constrained to make F -Line application seeking to conduct survey as per the circular instructions issuccl by the Commissioner, Survey and Land Records lrom time to time. It is further stated that, acting on the said F-Line application, survey was conducted by the Mandal Surveyor on O3.O4.2O21 and after localization of the land, boundary stones wcre also fixed for the lands in Sy.No.256. It is further stated that, as respondent Nos.S to 8, who are the adjacent land owners, are disturbing the boundaries and removing boundary stones, the petitioners have made a representation, dated 24 .O2.2O25 to prevent respondent Nos.5 to 8 and to implement the survey report, dated O3.O4.2O21. The grievance of the petitioners 1s that, even after receipt of the said representation, the respondent authorities did not consider the same.

3. Considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri L.Ravinder, learned Assistant Governmcnr Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4 and with their consent, this writ petition is being disposed ol al the adrqission stage. In view of the nature of relief soughL for in J CVBR, J wp 12182 2025 this writ petition, issuance of notice to the unofficial respondents is dispensed with

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, would submit that ac[ing on the F-Line application submitted by the petitioners, survey was conducted in terms of the various circulars issued by the Commissioner, Survey and Land Records and following the procedure contemplated under the provisions of the Telangana Land Revenue Act, 1317 Falsi and the Telangana Survey and Boundaries Act, 1923.

5. As seen from the record, the case of the petitioners is that even after conducting the survey and localization and hxation of the boundaries, the neighbouring owners are interfering with their peaceful possession and causing obstruction for their \ enjoyment. Once the survey was conducted, there is no role whatsoever of the revenue authorities to interfere with the possession of either of the parties. It is for the person, who is aggrieved and makes a claim that some third parties have illegally interfered or third parties are in possession of excess land, to take appropriate recourse by approaching the competent civil Court for obtaining necessary orders to prevent lhe interference of the neighbouring owners over the lands for I * -- \--, \1 ". .i CVBR,.I Wp 12 I 82 202_i which the survey was conducted. There is no role whatsoever of the respondent authorities, after conducting survey, to decide the validity or otherwise of the survey or to interfere with thc patta rights of either of the pedtioners or the unofficial respondents, in any manner, except deciding appeal filed by the aggrieved parties on survey reports. Therefore, the writ petition filed is misconceived and the same is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, this Writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs 7 As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stancl closed. //TRUE COPY// SD/.
