The short grievance of the writ petitioner in the present Writ Petition is that the unofficial respondents have illegally removed the boundary stones installed by the revenue officials around the land of the petitioner situated in Sy.Nos.102-4C3, 102-4C1 and 102-4A admeasuring Ac.0.96 cents, Ac.0.85 cents and Ac.0.65 cents respectively situated in S.L.Gudipadu village, Ballikurava Mandal, Bapatla District. Despite repeated requests, the revenue officials have not taken appropriate action to reinstall the boundary stones. Hence, the present Writ Petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents 4 to reinstall the boundary stones around the petitioner’s land in the aforesaid survey numbers. 3. The 4th respondent – Tahasildar had filed counter and stated that the unofficial respondents have illegally removed the boundary stones installed by the revenue officials around the petitioner’s land which is located in Sy.Nos.102-4C3, 102-4C1 and 102-4A situated in S.L.Gudipadu village, Ballikurava Mandal, Bapatla District, and the revenue officials have already initiated appropriate action to install the boundary stones around the petitioner’s land and a report is awaited from the 5th respondent – Station House Officer, Ballikurava Police Station, Ballikurava Mandal and on receipt of the orders from the 5th respondent, the 4th respondent will take immediate action without any delay. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the unofficial respondents would submit that as the official respondents have not conducted survey properly and admitted orally, the unofficial respondents have removed the boundary stones. 5. Without going into the merits of the case, the present Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the official respondents to reinstall the boundary 5 stones around the petitioner’s land in Sy.Nos.102-4C3, 102-4C1 and 102-4A admeasuring Ac.0.96 cents, Ac.0.85 cents and Ac.0.65 cents respectively situated in S.L.Gudipadu village, Ballikurava Mandal, Bapatla District.

There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________________________ JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO Date: 02.12.2025 siva 6 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO WRIT PETITION No.15315 of 2023 Date: 02.12.2025 siva
