“a. A writ and/or an order in the nature of appropriate writ directing the Respondent authorities more particularly Respondent appropriately No.3 and conclude proceeding being to 5 act to the demarcation Case Revenue No. unregistered/A-12/2025-26 [Annexure P-3(Colly)] (initiated by way of application dated 11.12.2025) in accordance with law, within a time bound manner, as directed by this Hon'ble Court.

b. Any other relief which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit in with the facts &

2. Facts of the case, as projected, are that the petitioner is the owner of land bearing Khasra No. 21/4 admeasuring 0.405 hectare situated at village Vijaypur, P.H. No. 54, RNM Boirdadar, Tahsil and District Raigarh (C.G.). According to the petitioner, the aforesaid land was purchased from its erstwhile owner namely Kuleshwar Singh Dau by way of registered sale deed dated 24.02.2025 registered on 25.02.2025 for a valuable sale consideration of Rs.40 Lakhs. It is further the case of the petitioner that after execution of the sale deed, the name of the petitioner was duly mutated and recorded in the relevant revenue records including B-1, P-II, Khasra Panchshala and Rin Pustika/Kisan Kitab. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted an application dated 11.12.2025 before the competent authority under Section 125 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code seeking demarcation of the boundaries of the aforesaid land. It has also been stated that requisite fee for demarcation was duly deposited along with the said application. The petitioner has further stated that pursuant to the said application, the Tahsildar, Raigarh registered Revenue Case No. unregistered/A-12/2025-26 and vide order dated 12.12.2025 called for a demarcation report from the concerned Revenue Inspector and Patwari which was to be submitted by 30.12.2025. A memorandum in this regard was also issued on 12.12.2025. According to the petitioner, thereafter despite repeated visits to the office of Tahsildar, Raigarh and repeated inquiries regarding progress of the matter, no further proceedings were undertaken by the respondent authorities and only oral assurances were given that the matter would be concluded shortly. The petitioner has further averred that upon obtaining certified copies of the proceedings, it came to his knowledge that after 12.12.2025 no progress had been recorded in the order sheet and no further action had been taken in the demarcation proceedings. Being aggrieved by such inaction on the part of the respondent authorities, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present writ petition.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite filing of the application for demarcation on 11.12.2025 and despite issuance of memorandum by the Tahsildar calling for report from the Revenue Inspector and Patwari, no effective steps have been taken by the respondent authorities for concluding the demarcation proceedings. It is contended that due to prolonged pendency of the proceedings, the petitioner is unable to peaceful
