6. The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate to constitute a team of officers consisting of an officer not below the rank of Tehsildar. Other members of the team would be Survey Naib Tehsildar and SHO of the concerned police station. The said team shall visit the site and after survey submit its report.
