If it is found that such an application was indeed filed by the petitioner and - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:38401 WP No. 27996 of 2025 the application is yet to be considered, the respondent- Tahsildar is directed to place before the 'Committee for Regularization of Unauthorized Occupation' the application along with his recommendation within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
