Mutation of land during the period between draft publication and final publication

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.
