Heard. YOGESH TIWARI Digitally signed by YOGESH TIWARI Date: 2026.07.03 11:02:01 +0530 2 2. By filing the present petition, the petitioner has prayed for following relief(s) :- “10.1 This Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to directed the respondent State to call relevant records, pertaining to the instant matter. 10.2 This Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to Issue a appropriate writ/direction/order to the respondent no. 4 to 6 to demarcate the petitioner's land i.e. Khasra no. 1566/30 within stipulated time; 10.3 This Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to Grant any other relief(s) deemed fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, including costs of the petition.” 3. By filing the present writ petition, the petitioner has sought a direction to the respondent authorities, particularly respondent No.4 to 6, to conduct demarcation of the petitioner’s land bearing Khasra No.1566/30, admeasuring 0.010 hectare, situated at Village Nirtu, within a stipulated time. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the owner and in possession of the land bearing Khasra No.1566/30, admeasuring 0.010 hectare, situated at Village Nirtu, which was purchased by him through a registered sale deed dated 01.07.2016, and his name is duly recorded in the revenue records. It is submitted that for demarcation of the aforesaid land, an application dated 06.03.2025 was preferred before the concerned Tahsildar. Pursuant thereto, the Tahsildar, Sakri, vide 3 memo dated 12.03.2025, directed the concerned Revenue Inspector/Patwari to carry out demarcation and submit report. However, despite issuance of the said memo, no demarcation has been carried out till date. Learned counsel further submits that thereafter the petitioner also submitted representations before the S.D.M., Takhatpur and the Collector, Bilaspur on 27.04.2026, but even thereafter no action has been taken and the petitioner’s grievance still remains unredressed. It is also submitted that the application for demarcation was moved on behalf of the petitioner by his father, as at the relevant point of time the petitioner was bedridden. Therefore, it is prayed that an appropriate direction be issued to the concerned Tahsildar to consider and decide the petitioner’s pending application for demarcation within a time- bound manner. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel submits that if the petitioner’s application/representation is still pending before the competent authority, the same shall be considered and decided in accordance with law within such time as may be directed by this Court. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents available on record. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the fact that the petitioner is seeking demarcation of his land bearing Khasra No.1566/30 and despite application dated 4 06.03.2025 and subsequent representations dated 27.04.2026, the same has not been acted upon till date, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the concerned Tahsildar to consider and decide the petitioner’s pending application/representation for demarcation of the aforesaid land, strictly in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner is directed to appear before the concerned Tahsildar along with a copy of this order so as to enable the said authority to take note of the present order and proceed in the matter in accordance with law. 8. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioner and the competent authority shall take an independent decision in accordance with law. 9. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Yogesh
