Property survey and demarcation require notice to neighbours, consideration of objections, and timely completion with police assistance if needed.

Property survey and demarcation may proceed only after notice is issued to neighbouring landowners and any other necessary party, with objections considered before the exercise. The Madras HC directed the respondents to complete the survey and demarcation of the petitioner's property within 12 weeks, and to provide police assistance if requested. The direction emphasizes prior notice, hearing of objections, and orderly implementation of the survey process.
