The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the subject property, i.e., Plot Nos. 71 and 72 in L.P. No. 275/82 in Sy. No. 33/2 of Edulagunta Village, Thottembedu Mandal, Tirupati District, having acquired the same from his vendor through a W.P.No.28249 of 2025, DR,J registered sale deed bearing Document No. 995/2007 dated 29.05.2007. Since then, the petitioner has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property. While things stood thus, the petitioner submitted an application dated 03.04.2025 to the 2nd respondent through Mee-Seva, seeking survey and demarcation of his land. Pursuant to the said application, the 3rd respondent issued a notice dated 01.05.2025 stating that the survey and demarcation would be conducted on 01.05.2025 at 4:00 p.m. In accordance with the said notice, the 3rd respondent conducted the survey in the presence of the petitioner. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after conducting the survey and demarcation by the 3rd respondent on 01.05.2025 pursuant to the petitioner’s application dated 03.04.2025, without furnishing the survey report to the petitioner, the 2nd respondent issued an endorsement dated 02.05.2025 as if the petitioner had made an application for Patta sub-division, though in fact, the petitioner had submitted an application vide Application No. DER012501549063 for survey and demarcation of his land, i.e., Plot Nos. 71 and 72 in L.P.
