Having received such application, it is not open to the Tahsildar, Yeldurthy Mandal, Medak District, to remain somnolent. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of directing the Tahsildar, Yeldurthy Mandal, Medak District, to take appropriate action on the petitioner's application dated 11.08.

2018 expeditiously and in any event, not later than four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, be it from whatever source.

Pending Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order. No order as to costs. ____________________ JUSTI CE SANJAY KUMAR 28th February, 2019 Kvsn
