JUSTICE R DEVDAS ORAL ORDER Learned AGA takes notice for respondent Nos.5 to 8. Notice to the other private respondents is not necessary, for the following reasons: Having heard the learned counsel for some time and on perusing the petition papers, this Court finds that the writ petition is premature. An appeal has been filed by the respondent No.1 before the Fifth respondent - Deputy Director of Land Records, calling in question a previous survey for 11-E - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:11381 WP No. 5281 of 2026 sketch. Therefore, neither the petitioner nor this Court can presume that the Deputy Director of Land Records is going to allow the appeal and set aside the 11-E sketch, having regard to the objections sought to be raised by the petitioner that two suits are subsequently filed and the suit for declaration has to be decided. Therefore, before such a decision is made by the competent Civil Court, such an action cannot be taken by the Survey Settlement Authorities. 2. With these observations, the petition stands disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to raise all objections before the Deputy Director of Land Records and the Deputy Director shall consider the same before passing any orders. 3. Learned AGA shall file her memo of appearance within four weeks. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE KS
