A decision of the high Ottoman Imperial Council of the early century. 18, which came as a response to the lawsuit of two Albanian ladies from Kosovo who had claims against the mills in the Vushtrri area

Decision addressed to the Vali of Rumelia and the kadis of Vilčiterina: Dizdar of the castle (of Vushtrri), Ali, said that his great-grandfather, in the village of Obranç e Poshtme, which depends on the nahija of Llapi, had two mills, the borders of to whom they are known. However, as a result of the invasion of the infidels (Austrian armies), they have been destroyed and no one has taken care of their recovery. For 40 years in a row, they remained in that condition and almost lost their tracks. At the same time, it was also refused [by the local bodies] to grant the work permit. Then, referring to the legal right, a permit was issued and they have been active for 9 years in a row. Until, [one day] the ladies, Hatixeja from Prishtina and Kaja from Yrgypi, came, claiming that, "your great-grandfather sold the mills to our great-grandfather, as early as 38 years ago. Thus, the legal right to use the mills belongs to us" and in the name of the law, also with the aim of hindering me, they took the matter to the court. But after listening to them, the judicial body of the valium rejected their claims, issuing a decision (bujuruldu). However, those mentioned have not withdrawn from their demands, begging for an interpretation from the Sheikhul-Islam body in Istanbul.
On this occasion, a fatfa was also issued by Sheikhul-Islam, where it is established that the mentioned request has no support. This written decision of the bench should be applied without making any changes. March 1736.
