2. Heard Sri V.Eswaraiah Chowdary, learned counsel representing Sri B.Kamalakara Rao, learned counsel-on-record for petitioner, and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the petitioner is owner of land admeasuring Acs.2.23 guntas situated in Sy.No.182/AA in Sy.No.202/Part of Cheemalakonduru Village, Bhongir Mandal, Yadadri-Bhongir District, having acquired the same by way of inheritance from his father, who expired on 17.07.2008; that the petitioner submitted an application on 25.06.2018 to survey the said land to avoid encroachments by neighbours, but, as there was no response, he again submitted another application vide No.TTDER021900345777 on 09.03.2019 by paying requisite fee, however, the respondents have not taken any action thereon, therefore, aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed.

3.1. Learned counsel for petitioner further submitted that there is no dispute with regard to ownership of the subject property by the petitioner and if survey of the subject land is scheduled, the petitioner along with his mother and his two sisters would be present during the survey and prayed to pass appropriate orders.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, by referring to the counter, submitted that the subject land originally belongs to the petitioner’s father-Gujja Dharmaiah and all the revenue records and pattadar passbooks stand in the name of the petitioner’s father. He further submitted that the petitioner has not submitted any document evidencing his sole ownership in respect of the subject land which is required as per Circular Instructions in Roc.No.N1/1408/2007, dated 13.07.2007, and further, the petitioner’s father is survived by his wife and two daughters, hence, the petitioner cannot alone claim the subject property, as there was no succession in his favour.

4.1. Learned Assistant Government Pleader further submitted that unless all the legal heirs of Gujja Dharmiah submit their respective affidavits stating no objection for mutation of the petitioner’s name in respect of the subject land and the subject land is mutated in the name of the petitioner, the respondents cannot proceed with survey of the subject land and finally, prayed to dismiss the Writ Petition.
