(1) If the Chief Commissioner is of opinion that in local area general partial revision of the records, or a resurvey, both, should be made, he shall issue a notification to that effect. (2) Every such local area shall be held to be under record or survey operations or both as the case may be, from the date of the notification until the issue of another notification declaring the said operations to be closed therein.

The Chief Commissioner may appoint an officer, hereinafter referred to as the “survey officer” to be in charge of the local record or survey operation, or both, as the case may be, in any local area and officers shall exercise all the powers conferred on them by or under this Regulation so long as such local area is under record or survey operation or both.

When any local area is under survey operations the survey officer may issue a proclamation directions all the tenants and occupiers of land thereon to erect, within fifteen days of such proclamation, such boundary marks as he may think necessary to define the limits of their fields; and in default of their complying within the said period, he may cause such boundary marks to be erected, and this Deputy Commissioner shall recover the cost of their re-erection from such tenant and occupiers.

In case of any dispute concerning any boundaries the survey officers shall decide such dispute in the prescribed manner.

When any local area is under survey operations the survey officer shall prepare for each village therein a map and field book, which shall thereafter be maintained by the Deputy Commissioner as provided by or under this Regulation, instead of the map and field book previously maintained.

When any local area is under record operations the survey officer shall frame, for each village therein, the records specified in Chapter VIII of such of them as the Chief Commissioner may direct, and the record or portion thereof so framed shall thereafter be maintained by the Deputy Commissioner, instead of the record of portion of the record previously maintained.

All undisputed entries in the record-of-rights shall be attested by the parties interested, and all disputes regarding such entries, whether taken up by the survey officer on his own motion or upon application by any party interested, shall be disposed of by him.

All entries in the record-of-rights prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter shall be presumed to be correct until the contrary is provided and all decisions under this Chapter in cases of dispute shall, subject to the adjudication of rights by a civil court having jurisdiction, be binding on all revenue courts in respect of the subject-matter of such dispute; but no such entry or decision shall affect the rights of any person to claim an establish in civil court any interest in land which requires to be recorded in the record-of-rights prepared under section 83.
