ORDER
The present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus seeking for a direction to the third respondent to conduct survey for subdivision in respect of the land in Survey No.213/4, Re-Survey No.213/4D1A with an extent of 6.5 cents situated at Kulasekarankottai Village, Vadipatti Taluk, Madurai District and issue separate patta and consequently direct the 4th respondent to adequate police protection during the survey on the basis of the petitioner’s representation dated 05.09.2026 within a stipulated time fixed by this Court.
2. Heard Mr.C.Ramesh, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr.M.Dinesh Hari Sudarsan, learned Additional Government Pleader, who
WP(MD) No. 28772 of 2026 accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3 and Mr.I.Murugesan, learned Counsel for State of Tamil Nadu. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
3. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the owner of the subject property and in order to survey and fix boundaries for the subject property, he has made an online application to the respondent authority on 05.09.2026. Since the said application has not been considered till date, the present Writ Petition has been filed seeking the above relief.
4. Considering the limited scope of prayer sought in the Writ Petition, this Court is inclined to issue the following directions: “The third respondent is directed to conduct survey with the assistance of the Taluk Surveyor of the subject property by considering the application submitted by the petitioner on 22.08.2026 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 third respondent is at liberty to seek assistance of the fourth respondent, who in turn, shall provide adequate polite protection at the time of survey at the cost of the petitioner.”
