Counsel for the Petitioner: SRI P. ROY REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 6: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for the ResPondent No.7:-' The Court made the following: ORDER HON'BLE SRI T'USTICE C.V. BIIASKAR REDDY trIRIT PEIITIONNo.13529 of 2o/25 ORDERJ It is stated that the petitioner is the owner and possessor of the land admeasuring Acs. 12.07 guntas (out of Acs.27.7g guntas) in Sy.No.49g, situated at Tangtoor Village, Shankarpally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District.

It is further stated that, when disputes arose over the subject land, at the instance of *te petitioner ald others, surveys have been conducted twice as per the circular instructions issued by the Commissioner, Survey, Settlement ,ra Urra Records.

3. Sri P.J?o'g Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner' has vehementl-.r' contended that once the survey hat; been concluded, a frerson, who is aggrieved by the survey co rducted by the Mandal Surveyor, may hle first appeal bef'lre the RevenueDi.gisionalOflrcerandifapersonisaggrievedbythe survey conclr-r<:ted by the Deputy Inspector of Survey' he may file second appeal before the Assistant Director of Suruey and Land Records, but respondent No'7 do not have any right to make fresh al)plication for conducting survey again al'd again for the very same extent.

4. A caref ul examination of the record, pima facie' it appears thrlt if the survey is conducted strictty in acr :ordance with the prr:r'isions of the Survey and Boundaries Act' 1923 and the circular instructions issued by the Commissioner, Survey' ,, 3 CVBR, J wp_t3s29 2025 Settlement arrd Land Records, the respondent auttrorities do noL have any power or authority to conduct the survey again and again at, the instance of respondent No.7 or at the instance of the third pa_rties. Since it is stated that_ the petitioner has already submitted his objections to the impugned notice, this Court is of the view that the ends of justice would be met, if respondent No.S is directed to consider the objections raised by the petitioner before conducting the survey and thereafter proceed with the same, if so warralted under the facts and circumstances of the case. 5 With the above observations, this Writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 6 As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall s-t4q_q[_ clo_sed. , SD/- T.
