The main legal point established is the court's authority to direct demarcation of disputed land based on evidence of encroachment and failure of the relevant authority to take action.

RAJESH BHARDWAJ, J.

1. Petitioner has approached this Court praying for issuance of direction to respondents to conduct demarcation of land bearing Khasra No.1//12/2 as mentioned in application dated 18.02.2019.

2. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that grievances raised by the petitioner are virtually admitted by the respondents in the demarcation report dated 22.02.2019 (Annexure P-13). He submits that this demarcation was pertaining to the land of the petitioner bearing Khasra No.1//12/3/2/1 and after the demarcation it was specifically found that the public street existed at the spot in the said Khasra number and inter lock tiles have been affixed on the said land. He submits that from the demarcation report, it was confirmed that there was an encroachment on the land of the petitioner as the public street is made on his land, which should have been in the land of the respondent-Municipal Council. He submits that the petitioner filed a representation before the respondent-Municipal council for carrying out demarcation of land of Municipal Council so that the encroachment on the land of the petitioner could be removed, however, the respondent-Municipal Council till date has not carried out demarcation on its land bearing Khasra No.1//12/2 situated at Maur Khurd.

3. Learned counsel for respondent No.8-Municipal Council has fairly submitted that the respondent-council would get its land demarcated from Revenue Authorities.

4. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to get demarcated the land of Municipal Council bearing Khasra No.1//12/2 within two weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order and thereafter proceed further in accordance with law.

Order accordingly.
