Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is claiming right over the subject property an extent of Ac.2.80 cents situated at Pasumarru, Chilakaluripet Mandal, Palnadu District. Since there is a dispute between the petitioner and the unofficial respondent, the petitioner instituted a suit in O.S.No.326 of 2024 for declaration of title and for permanent injunction. The same is pending for consideration before the Court below. Pending consideration of the suit, the unofficial respondent said to have been submitted an application to the third respondent herein for conducting survey for demarcation and also for mutation. For which, 4 the third respondent issued notices dated 01.07.2025 without considering the rights of the petitioner and the suit, which is pending for adjudication before the Court below. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the petitioner submitted a representation to the revenue authorities not to proceed with the matter as the matter is pending before the Court. Without considering the representation dated 02.07.2025 of the petitioner, the respondent authorities are proceeding to conduct survey and to alter the record to defeat the interest of the petitioner while pending the suit at the Court below, which is illegal, arbitrary and such action is liable to be deprecated. 4. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue furnished the written instructions of 3rd respondent dated 08.07.2025, wherein it is stated as follows: It is submitted that the village Surveyor, Pasumarru village has issued 1st notices on 01.07.2025 for demarcation of the said land to the adjoining land holders as part of procedure.

Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue further submits that since the petitioner submitted the representation, the same would be considered and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. By considering the submissions made by both the learned counsel and on perusal of material on record, this Court is of the view that it is appropriate to dispose of this writ petition directing the third respondent to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 02.07.2025 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, after providing opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and other stake holders, if any, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 6.
