Land Demarcation Duty Under Revenue Law | Authorities Must Act Within 30 Days Without Deciding Title or Possession : MP HC Gwalior

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has mandated that revenue authorities must complete land demarcation between survey numbers within 30 days of application, as per state circulars, and cannot refuse on grounds of title disputes or possession claims. This clarifies the limited role of revenue officers in boundary disputes and protects landowners from administrative inaction, reinforcing procedural fairness in land record management.
