IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.26364 of 2014 BETWEEN P. Sattaiah.
AND ... PETITIONER State of Telangana, Principal Secretary to Government, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and two others.
...RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR. SURESH SHIVA SAGAR Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following:
ORDER:
Petitioner, who claims to be owner of house No.7-20/21/14/B in Sy.No.870 situated at Muskipet, Kukatpally village, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, seeks to object to the proposed survey by respondent No.3 with respect to Sy.No.871, Kukatpally Village, Balanagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District.
2. Petitioner questions the impugned survey notice by raising various objections including that the petitioner is the son of P. Pentaiah and that notice of survey was issued in favour of his father, who is no more. Petitioner also contends that the applicant, who sought survey with respect to Sy.No.871, is also not the owner. The proposed survey sought to be conducted on 11.09.2014 is, therefore, sought to be interdicted by the present writ petition.
3. In my view, the petitioner has no locus standi to object to the survey, which is being conducted with regard to Sy.No.871, when petitioner, admittedly, is not concerned with the said survey number. The impugned notice shows that the adjacent land holders including the father of the petitioner were notified by the Surveyor of the proposed Survey. Petitioner, who represents his father now, is, therefore, free to appear and be present at the time of the survey. Since the survey and demarcation work is proposed to be with respect to Sy.No.871 alone, I do not see any reason to entertain the writ petition.
The writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
