JUDGMENT Soumen Sen , C.J .

The writ petitioner alleged that the 4^th respondent has encroached the Puramboku land in Survey No.103 in Block No.34 of Pattimattom Village and has prayed for a direction upon the 1^st respondent to erect fencing at the northern side of the said Puramboku land to separate it from the land of the 4^th respondent.

2. It appears from a reply given by the Public Information Officer on 30.07.2025 that the Tahsildar, Perumbavoor has directed to refix the boundary since the boundary of the land under the ownership of Periyar Valley in the said area is not clear, with a further observation that the fencing will be erected after receiving Survey stones and funds subsequent to the fixation of the boundary.

3. We, therefore, direct the Executive Engineer, Periyar Valley Irrigation Project, to consider and dispose of the petition regarding the alleged encroachment of land in Survey No.103 in Block No.34 of Pattimattom Village within a period of six weeks from date after giving a reasonable opportunity of hearing to all the parties including the private respondent. The order shall be communicated to the petitioner and the private respondent within two weeks thereafter.
