                                    for redressal of grievance of tenure holders, claiming certain right/title
                                    over their land, the State Government had issued detailed Government
                                    Order dated 12.05.2016, which provides that in case the claimant files
                                    claim supported with requisite documents, the same would be considered
                                    by the District Level Committee for ensuring adequate compensation in
                                    the light of Act 2013. He submits that once the efficacious remedy is
                                    available to the petitioner, the matter should be relegated to the District
                                    Level Committee, which may examine the claim of petitioner within a
                                    reasonable time and submit its report to the Chairman/District Magistrate,
                                    who may accord adequate compensation accordingly.

                                    4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the relief
                                    prayed in the instant matter, we dispose of the instant petition with liberty
                                    to the petitioner to make fresh representation along with true attested copy
                                    of the instant order before District Level Committee constituted under the
                                    Government Order dated 12.05.2016 within two weeks. In the event, such
                                    representation is made, the District Level Committee shall consider the
                                    claim of the petitioner and ensure that the proceeding shall be finalised
