In order to ensure prompt protection of the rights of entrepreneurs, the Law "On the Commissioner under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of business entities" (hereinafter - the Law) provides for the consideration of the legal requirements of the Business Ombudsman and his staff within 10 days.

However, there are government officials who still violate the current legislation.

The Business Ombudsman was approached by the head of the farm "Amu nasli Chorva", which operates in the Amu Darya region of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, with a complaint about the obstacles set in obtaining land for the development of animal husbandry.

In order to provide quick, practical assistance to farming, on the 5^th of May 2020, the Business Ombudsman sent a request to the khokimiyat of the Amu Darya region. The execution of this letter was entrusted to the deputy khokim of the district for agriculture and water management F. Sadullaev.

Despite the deadline set by the Business Ombudsman for providing information on the appeal, the request F. Sadullayev ignored.

State bodies and other organizations, their officials are obliged to assist the Business Ombudsman in his activities, to provide the documents, materials and other information related to the rights and legal interests of business entities requested by him, not later than ten days from the date of receipt of the request, if a different period is not set.

In this regard, on the above facts of violation of the law, the employees of the Office of the Business Ombudsman draw up protocol on an administrative offense against the deputy khokim F. Sadullayev on the facts of violations of the law.

As a result, by the decision of the Amudarya district administrative court, the deputy khokim of the Amudarya district F. Sadullaev was fined.
