He further submits that pursuant to the aforesaid application, the Tehsildar, Bilaspur (C.G.), vide memo dated 10.04.2026, directed the concerned Revenue Inspector, Bilaspur-Mopka (C.G.), to conduct the demarcation proceedings and submit the requisite Panchanama, spot map and relevant revenue records, on or before 28.04.2026; however, despite the said direction and expiry of the stipulated period, the concerned Revenue Inspector has neither conducted the demarcation proceedings nor submitted the requisite documents, and, therefore, the petitioner has been constrained to file the present petition seeking appropriate directions to the respondent authorities for completion of the demarcation proceedings in accordance with law. 4 3. Learned counsel for the State submits that the Tehsildar, Bilaspur (C.G.), had already taken cognizance of the petitioner’s application and, vide memo dated 10.04.2026, directed the concerned Revenue Inspector to conduct the demarcation proceedings and submit the requisite report along with the Panchanama, spot map and relevant revenue records on or before 28.04.2026.

In case the demarcation has not yet been conducted, the concerned Revenue Inspector shall complete the same in terms of the directions contained in the memo dated 10.04.2026 and submit the requisite report and documents within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event the demarcation proceedings have already been completed, a copy of the demarcation report and relevant documents shall be furnished to 5 the petitioner forthwith.

With this observation and direction, the petition stands disposed of. 6. No order as to costs. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge U.K. Raju
