Order

This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the respondents to conduct survey and fix boundaries of the petitioner’s property by considering his representation.

2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is the absolute owner of the property comprised in S.F.No. 98, Sub- Division No. 2, situated at Panangudi Village, Nannilam Taluk, Thiruvarur District, admeasuring an extent of 1.77.50 ares, having acquired the same through a registered Settlement Deed dated 18.09.2025. In order to survey the property, the petitioner submitted an online application on 03.08.2026. Since the said application has not been considered to date, the petitioner has approached this Court.

3. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that the respondents had visited the land for conducting a survey on 30.09.2026, but due to water stagnation and thick bushes, they were not in a position to complete it. Hence, once the bushes are removed, a proper survey will be conducted. The petitioner may therefore be directed to remove all the bushes on the land and keep it clean so as to enable the respondents to conduct
