2. Facts of the case, as projected, are that the petitioner has filed the

present writ petition stating that he is the lawful owner and Bhumi

Swami of land bearing Khasra No. 215/1/घ, Ward/Halka No. 32,

situated at Village Jhabar, Tehsil and District Korba (C.G.),

admeasuring 0.162 hectare, having purchased the same through

issued directing constitution of a team for conducting demarcation

and submission of a report within a stipulated period. However,

despite issuance of notices fixing dates for demarcation on

multiple occasions, the petitioner remained present with all

of demarcation, no effective steps have been taken by the

authorities, thereby causing serious prejudice to the petitioner. It

is further submitted that the petitioner, being the recorded ow
