The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction
to the third respondent to issue a certified copy of the
Survey Sketch of the property covered by Ext.P1. The
petitioner had filed Ext.P6 representation before the
Deputy Director of Survey and Land Records, Ernakulam, to
get such a copy and in view of the delay occurred in the
matter, this writ petition has been filed.
2. The learned Government Pleader on instructions
submitted that the District Survey Superintendent is the
competent authority in the matter and, therefore, the
petitioner will have to approach the said authority. The
learned Government Pleader also submitted that in the
particular Taluk, Kothamangalam, re-survey is yet to be
conducted.
3. If the petitioner makes a proper representation
before the District Survey Superintendent, Ernakulam,
seeking for a certified copy of the Survey Sketch, the same
will be considered in accordance with law by the said
officer and appropriate action will be taken within one
month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment.
The petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition

along with a copy of this Judgment before the District
Survey Superintendent for compliance.
The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.
