If it is found that such an application was indeed filed by the petitioner and the application is yet to be considered, the 2nd 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 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37329 WP No. 28273 of 2025 order.
