In view of the same, the notice itself is contrary to the provisions of the Act. 4. Considering the submissions made and on perusal of the record as the notice was scheduled on 06.02.2025, which was already happened, this Court is not inclined to keep the writ petition pending, accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent authorities to provide endorsement, if survey was 4 conducted on that day, to the petitioners herein. If survey was not conducted, the petitioners are given liberty to file their objections. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel miscellaneous applications, pending, if any, shall also stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH Dt:14.11.2025 sj 5 117 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.
