Learned Additional Government Advocate is directed to take notice for the respondent.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has given representation to respondent - Tahsildar for phodi and durasth of her lands. Learned counsel submits that appropriate directions may be given to the concerned respondents to carry out the phodi and durasth.
3. Learned Additional Government Advocate however submits that normally this Court would direct the parties to file online application for phodi and durasth. However, in respect of granted lands, since the phodi and the durasth have to be conducted simultaneously in respect of all the granted lands, sufficient time may be required to complete the process. Learned AGA submits on instructions that land in question situated in the Sy.No.27 comprises of large extent of lands i.e., 235 acres. Therefore, sufficient time will have to be granted to the respondents to complete the phodi and durasth.
