Having regard to the contentions raised in the writ petition and submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the considered opinion that respondent No.4-Tahsildar was duty bound to place the application filed by the petitioner before respondent No.3, ‘Committee for Regularization of Unauthorized Occupation’ and the Committee was also duty bound to consider the application and pass necessary orders. 4. Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed of with a specific direction to respondent No.4- Tahsildar, Hassan Taluk, to verify from the records as to whether such an application filed by the petitioner 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 the application before - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:13431 WP No. 9068 of 2024 respondent No.3-Committee, along with his recommendation within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Ordered accordingly. 5. Learned High Court Government Pleader is permitted to file memo of appearance within a period of four weeks from today. Sd/- (R DEVDAS) JUDGE rv List No.: 1 Sl No.: 21
