## **O.P.(C) No.4202 of 2013**
----------------------------------
_Dated this the 25[th] day of July, 2018_
## **JUDGMENT**
The case of the petitioner is that the petitioners, who are respondent Nos.14 to 24 and 35 to 38 in the final decree application filed an application under Sections 152 and 153 of the Civil Procedure Code to correct the survey number, which was dismissed by the court below.
2. It is the case of the petitioners that when, after taking possession of the property, they went to the Village Office to pay the revenue tax, it was not accepted saying that the survey number is not tallied. Even though there is no counter filed by the respondents, the court opined that no evidence is available on record to find out the correct survey number of the property delivered to the petitioners, as contended by them. It is further ordered that, in the absence of any evidence on record, it is not permissible to change the survey number of the property, which has already been delivered to the petitioners.
3. Surely, there is some force in the said reasoning of the court below. If the survey number relates to the property of
_O.P(C).4202/13_ **:2:**
some other person, who was not at all a party to the proceeding herein, it will surely create confusion, when an order is passed without hearing the said parties.
4. The case of the petitioner is that he got separate possession in the final decree proceedings and he is seeking alteration of the survey number of the property got delivered in the final decree proceeding. The identity of the property is evident in the final decree proceeding. Under such circumstances, following the dictum laid down by this Court in **Vasudevan v. Lakshmi [2000 (1) KLT 306]** , it is ordered that the impugned orders are set aside and Exts.P7 & P8 are allowed.
## This O.P(Civil) is disposed of as above.
