Dear Client,
As per the topographical land survey, layout marking and demarcation are done inclusive of roads, plots, commercial spaces and extra spaces for public use etc. The demarcation is almost purely a technical operation, carried out jointly by the surveyors, acting as boundary engineers, of both parties. Post-survey of the land, a unique survey number is alloted for plots based on the topographical location of the lands. Property demarcation means physically dividing the property into metes and bounds (i.e., the area and boundaries of each property will be made), the rules and procedure of which may vary from state to state. Only the recorded owners of the property can apply for demarcation to the Tehshildar/Land Revenue Officer or it can be done on orders from a Court. But, survey of land and allotment of new plot number post-survey does not change the class or status of land which is acquired under the Land Acquistion Act, 1894 by the Govt for public purposes. The Deputy Collector (Land Acquisition) was appointed as the competent authority for acquisition proceedings and empowered under Section 23 of the Act to try a complaint or grievance from the landowner in the same manner as is provided in the case of a Civil Court for the trial of civil suits. So if you have any grievance on the subject, you can you can represent your grievance/complaint before the Dy. Collector to resolve the issue in the right way.
