Upon hearing the learned counsel appearing for both the parties and on perusal of the records, it appears that the petitioner has sold a portion of the property to third parties, while retaining a part for his own possession and enjoyment.

7. In view of the submissions, respondents 2 and 3 are directed to conduct a proper survey, after issuing due notice to all concerned parties and to demarcate the petitioner’s property. It is made clear that if any portion of the road is found to be under the occupation of the petitioner, the respondent authorities shall initiate appropriate action in accordance with law. Insofar as the shortfalls mentioned in the endorsement dated 02.06.2025, the applicants shall address them separately in accordance with the prescribed procedure.
8. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
9. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE HARINATH.N BV
