In the present compila- ¢ tion some memoranda/instructions issued prior to [4 February, 1985 but not incorporated in the publication 4 dated 17.5.89 have been compiled considering their El necessity in the present operation. pe The endeavour in bringing out this publication 4 would be fruitful if it becomes use of the officers/ staff attached to the revisional operation in renderingstheir assigned duties. : (N.C.

While drawing attention of all supervising officers to clause VI of Para IV at page 16 of the minutes of the review meeting held on 7th April, 1984 in the matter of conducting revision of record-of-rights communicated to all concerned under No. 7805—875/F. 6(78)—DSLR/LR/82 dated 27-4-84, the supervising officers are once again requested to check the diaries of their subordinate staff at a regular intervals to keep proper control and supervision over the working of the staff engaged in revisional survey operation. In course of present revision survey, there shall be no change in the rate of revenue. However, there may be change in the assessment of each holding due to change in area or classification of land. A question has been raised about the date of enforcement of the revised assessment. It has been decided that the revised assessment will take effect from the 1st day of the year following the year in which the revised records are made over to the Collector. Since there is no change in the rate of revenue, the Survey Officers authorised to revise the record of rights may enter the revised assessment in Col. 6 of the khatian which is meant for recording for revenue as ascertained by the Revenue Officer. Col. 9 to 11 meant for recording of revenue & cess may be left blank in the course of revision of record-of-rights as these columns are required to be filled up only when a fresh rate of revenue is determined under Chapter IV of the Tripura Land Revenue & Land Reforms Act. The Director of Settlement & Land Records will take all possible steps to make over the revised record-of-rights within 1(one) year from the date of final publication. The Collectors in turn will prepare fresh toujis for the year following the year in which the revised records are received. The contents of this memorandum should be carefully followed. The minimum Norm for attestation work per day was fixed 35 khatians under this Directorate Memorandum No. 10592—658/F. 6(47)—DSLR/LR/81/P—I dated 12th July, 1984. The procedure of attestation are laid down clearly in Organisation and Methodology and subsequent Memorandum No. 14674—80/F. 6(26)—DSLR/LR/78 dated 3rd August, 1981 and 3139—46/F. 6(26)—DSLR/LR/78 dated 2nd March, 1984. But it has been observed that the progress in attestation is still far below of the Norm fixed. It has come to the notice that publicity for attestation to the land holders in most cases were not given properly. This may be one of the reasons for non-appearance of the land holders before the attestation officers for attesting their khatians. It has therefore, been decided that wide publicity of attestation of records should be given to the land holder by issuing general notices in the village and its adjoining villages with copies to the concerning Panchayats and Departments and by beat of drum in the local markets. This instruction should be rigidly followed. The records which have been attested but not yet finally published will require correction inrespect of col No. 9 and 12 before final publication. In such case the parcha with the land holders will contain the entries as per attested records. Clarification in respect of the above noted point: have as under: 1. Since the assessment made in revisional operation will take effect from first day of the Bengali year following the year in which records would be made over the Collector, the entries for Col. 12 should be made as “§(2) §131 Herre”. 2. An allottee is liable to pay land revenue for the land allotted subject to the Government order under Section 16(2) of the T. L. R. & L.R. Act, 1960. As such assessed revenue to be entered in Col. 6 as inthe case of others with entries in Col. 12 “§(2) §] AAR SAI CTI SO we oe at”. 3. The entries should be same as item No. 2 above. 4. The parchas issued to the land holders are copies of the draft records which are subject to correction in subsequent stages. But the records inspected by the land holders during the period of draft publication cannot be changed without giving opportunity of being heard to the interested Parties. As such, before draft publication the entries should be corrected in respect of revenue where such entries made during attestation.

It has come to the notice that the land holders who are acquiring settled land by purchase, inheritance, partition etc. within the period from the end of draft publication to the commencement of lunch for final publication of records are not getting any scope to get their land mutated in their names and thus some of them are being deprived of financial assistance from different financial Institutions. The issue has been examined throughly and it has been observed that there is no bar to allow mutation U/S—46 of the TLR. & L.R. Act, 1960 even during that period as referred to above. It is, therefore, decided that mutation cases files in prescribed manner within the period as mentioned above may be entertained and disposed of by the Asstt. Survey Officer of the area as per provision of section 46 of the said Act, before final publication of records. In accordance with the provision of Rule 56(1) of the Tripura Land Revenue and Land Reforms Rules 1961 and only after completion of work of one stage the work of the next stage is taken up. The rights of the land holders are transferable and therefore there is every possibility of changes in possession and ownership of land. As a result the field position reflected in one stage may undergo changes in the subsequent stage. The possibility of such changes increase when the intervening period in between two stages is wide. It has been decided to undertake revision of record-of-rights following the stages as mentioned in sub-rule (v) to (ix) of the said rules. Each stage of the operation is independent. With reference to the Revenue Department Memorandum No. F. 4(17)-RCC/79(P) dated 24-10-85, the following clarifications are provided: (1) Since the assessment made in revisional operation will take effect from first day of the Bengali year following the year in which records would be made over the Collector, the entries for Col. 12 should be made as "3y(2) #131 Herre". (2) An allottee is liable to pay land revenue for the land allotted subject to the Government order under Section 16(2) of the T. L. R. & L.R. Act, 1960. As such assessed revenue to be entered in Col. 6 as in the case of others with entries in Col. 12 “9y(2) ¥{%] AAR Sa1 CTIA SO at”. (3) The entries for lands declared as settled land u/s 11(3) of the T. L. R. & L. R. Act, 1960 shall be the same as item No. 2. (4) The parchas issued to the land holders are copies of the draft records which are subject to correction in subsequent stages. But the records inspected by the land holders during the period of draft publication cannot be changed without giving opportunity of being heard to the interested parties. As such, before draft publication the entries should be corrected in respect of revenue where such entries made during attestation.

In regard to recording of land owned by way of exchange of properties with the Muslims migrated to Erstwhile East Pakistan, it was stated that Government desires that such cases of dispute should not be left undecided for indefinite period and may be disposed of under section 43(1) (a) of the TLR & LR ACT according to merit of each case.

Sin wndinst # on™ { | am directed to say that in the first meeting of, the Assembly Committee on Land Reforms held on 24th August, 1978 the matters relating to (i) regularisation of cases of allotment of Land previously made to. the jhumias, refugees etc. ; and (i) alienation of tribal lands to non-tribals in Patravention of provision of section 187 of the Tripura Land Revenue and Land Reforms Act came up for discussion. The Committee is of opinion that these works should be dome in course of : revision of record-of-rights. 2. In the past many jhumias were resettled under different schemes operated by the Tribal Welfare Department. Some of these cases might not have been regularised and Lands not recorded in the [ name of the jhumias concerned. Similarly all refugees who were Settled on land by the Rehabili- tation Department have not yet got the land recorded in their names. In all such cases, if the f allottees are found in possession of the land allotted or any other khas land, in case the allotted | fand cannot be now located, the land should be recorded in their names in course of the revision of record-of-rights, In finalising such cases help of local M. L. As and Gaon Pradhans may be sought for wherever necessary. 3 3. All transfers of lands by tribals to non-tribals in contravention of the provisions of section 187 | “f the Act should be detected in course of revision of record-of-rights. _Suitable entries should be ade in the Remarks. column (ie. column 23 of the khatian ), A list Of such cases may also be t forwarded to. the Revenue Officer competent to estore the alienated land. | 41 would request you to please issue necessary. instruction to all concerned. ’ Yours faithfully, Sd/- V.

This section empowers the Collectors to call for the {i Sol record of any “proceeding” befors a Revenue Officer subordinate to him for the purpose of satisfying ! himself as to the legality and propriety of any order passed by such revenue officer, and passing order | in reference thereto as he thinks fit. { | 2. In fact there is no time limit prescribed for the purpose. So it is not necessary that the | proceeding should be a pending one. This power can be exersised even in case of proceeding in which a final order has been passed. The primary condition is that there must be a proceeding. 3. Proceeding” for this purpose shall mean “any application to a Court of Justice, however made, } for aid in the enforcement of rights, for relief, for redress of injuries, for damages or for any remedial { abjects”. An entiv in the record-of-rights made in the course of preparation of the same cannot i be challanged under “ection 95 of the Act.
