2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s father had originally purchased a parcel of land in old S.F. No. 270/39, (New S.F.No.238/25) situated at Perperiyankuppam Village. Subsequently, pursuant to a family partition, the petitioner’s father allotted an extent of 3 cents in favour of the petitioner and thereafter settled another extent of 3 cents in favour of the petitioner’s minor son. It is submitted that the petitioner's family has been in continuous and peaceful possession of the subject property. However, in recent days, certain disputes have arisen between the petitioner and the adjoining landowners. Consequently, the petitioner submitted an online application dated 28.07.2026 to survey the property and fix boundary stones, followed by a representation dated 07.08.2026. Since the said application and representation have not been considered so far, the petitioner has approached this Court
