Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the OM dated 21.12.2020, this Court is of the view that the objection raised by the counsel for the Revenue is justified as the OM reflects the complete procedure for issuance of demarcation certificate and also specifies the designated public servants to act as the demarcation appellate authority as well as Reviewing authority. A copy of this OM is placed before the Court is kept in the case record. Page No.# 3/3 In view of the procedure prescribed in the OM dated 21.12.2020, this writ petition stands disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to file a proper application before the appropriate appellate authority. If the application is filed within a period of 7 days from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order then the application shall be disposed of in terms of the period specified in the OM dated 21.12.2020 which is 30 days from the date of receipt of the application.
