GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: 3 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH WRIT PETITION No.36521 OF 2025 ORDER: The present Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief: “…to issue, a Writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 5th respondent herein in issuing the impugned Endorsement vide Rc.A2/334/2025 dated 22.12.2025 by rejecting petitioner’s application dated 05.11.2025 instead sending it to the competent 7th respondent for conducting survey is nothing but abuse, arbitrary, illegal, without any jurisdiction and contrary to the settled law as settled by the two Division Benches of this Hon’ble Court in WA.No.819 of 2024 dated 09.05.2025 and in WA.No.No.1168 of 2025 dated 13.11.2025 respectively and consequently set aside the impugned Endorsement vide Rc.A2/334/2025 dated 22.12.2025 and further direct the 7th respondent herein to conduct survey and demarcation of the petitioner’s property to an extent of Ac.1.00 cents out of Ac.5.34 cents in Sy.No.71/1 of Ananthapuram under Clause 20 of BSO 34-A (Board Standing Orders) on the application of the petitioners dated 05.11.2025 pending with the 7th respondent in the light of law as laid down by the two Hon’ble Division Benches as stated supra and to pass such other order or orders…” 2. The brief grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner submitted an application dated 05.11.2025, before the 6th respondent, seeking demarcation of petitioner’s property, though the competent authority to consider the same is the 7th respondent. However, the Office of 6th respondent rejected the said application by way of impugned endorsement dated 22.12.2025. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner has filed present Writ Petition seeking a direction to 7th 4 respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on petitioner’s application dated 05.11.2025. 3. Heard Sri V.Surendra Reddy, learned counsel for petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for respondents. 4. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner has submitted an application to the wrong authority i.e., instead of approaching the 7th respondent, he approached the office of 6th respondent. Learned counsel further requests this Court to grant liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh application under Clause 34A of the Board Standing Orders. 5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue does not refute the said submissions. 6. In view of the said submissions, the present Writ Petition is disposed of setting aside the impugned endorsement dated 22.12.2025 and permitting the petitioner to approach the 7th respondent by filing a fresh application under Clause 34A of the Board Standing Orders. Upon such application being filed, the competent authority is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH Date: 31.12.2025 KBN 5 107 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH WRIT PETITION No.36521 of 2025 Date: 31.12.2025 KBN
