Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed of with a specific direction to respondent- Tahsildar, Ramnagara Taluk, to verify from the records as to whether such an application filed by the petitioner in the year 1998, is pending consideration. If it is found that such an application was indeed filed by the petitioner and 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 two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Thereafter, the Committee shall consider the application and pass necessary orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months thereafter. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:39030 WP No. 27119 of 2025 5.
