4. Considering the limited scope of prayer sought in the Writ Petition, this Court is inclined to issue the following directions: “The second respondent is directed to consider the application submitted by the petitioner on 08.09.2026 and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If necessary, the second respondent can seek assistance of the third respondent at the time of surveying, who in turn, shall provide adequate police protection at the cost of the petitioner.
5. It is made clear that the order passed and the proceedings undertaken pursuant thereto would not confer any right to possession of the property if the same is in the hands of third parties.
6. With the above directions, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 14-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No cmr __________
