The petitioner is seeking for a mandamus to direct respondent. No.3 to consider his representation dated 05.02.2025 by which the petitioner is calling upon the Thasildar not to conduct a survey in view of the pendency of O.S. No.296/2023 and W.P. No.935/2025. 2. Learned Additional Government Advocate, on instructions, submits that an application for conducting survey had been given to the authorities and the authorities on the basis of the seniority had decided to conduct a survey and had issued notices - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:9605 WP No. 6577 of 2025 to all the concerned including the petitioner and the petitioner has given his objection that survey should not be conducted in view of pendency of O.S.

No.296/2023, the appropriate remedy available for him would be to approach the Civil Court and seek for an interim order in the pending O.S. No.296/2023. The petitioner is granted this liberty to approach the Civil Court. The Authorities shall abide by the orders, if any, passed by the Civil Court, if such an application is made by the petitioner. Subject to the above, Writ Petition is disposed of. 4. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of.
