ORAL ORDER:
Heard leamed counsel for the petitioner and Mr.L'Ravinder, leamed Assistant Govemment Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents.
The petitioner herein is seeking a direction to respondent No.3 to conduct a survey and demarcate the property, i.e., the land admeasuring Ac.0-17 guntas in Sy.Nos.434, 435, and 436, situated at Gadwat Village and Mandal, Jogulamba Gadwal District, by considering the F-Line application bearing No'DER022 100664054 dated24.06.2021.
3. A perusal of the record reveals that the petitioner submitted the aforesaid F-Line application dated 24.06.2021 to respondent No.3 with a request to conduct the survey strictly in accordance with law. The same was not considered. Therefore, the petitioner f,rled a writ petition vide W.P.No.46170 of 2022 seeking a direction to respondent No.3 to consider the said F-Line application. Vide order dated 27.12.2022, this Court disposed of the said writ petition directir\g respondent No.3 to consider the said F-Line application, \ t
!-\ ,'=tttt5
conduct the survey, and demarcate the subject l roperty within forty-five working days. According to the petitirn er, respondent No.3 did not comply with the said order. Therefore, re has f,rled the present wnt petltlon.
4. If the order dated 27.12.2022 is not corr rlied with by respondent No.3, the petitioner has to file a cor empt case. In S. Tirupathi Rao v M.Lingamaiahr, the Hon'ble ,1 pex Court held that if the violation is continuous. a contempt ci r I may still be maintainable beyond one year. lnstead of hling a )ontempt case, the petitioner filed the presenl writ petition.
5. As discussed supra, in the order dated )-7.12.2022 in W.P.No.46170 of 2022, rhough the petitioner is r laiming rights over the subject property on the strength of a regir;r :red sale deed bearing No.3213 of 1987 dared 13.08.1987, he has r ot filed copies of the latest or old passbook. He submitted the a[,resaid F-Line application only on 24.06.2021 . Thus, there is an abr rrmal delay in filing the said application seeking survey. Howr ver, it is for respondent No.3 to consider the said aspect. ' 2024 SCC Online sct I764
