Check of diaries of subordinate staff

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.
