JAMMU, FEBRUARY 03: In a recent directive by District Magistrate Sachin Kumar Vaishya, a land mutation, bearing No. 42 and dated October 3, 2005, has been declared unsustainable under the law and is set to be nullified.
The order follows a representation received from applicants Sukhdev Singh, Romesh Singh and Subash Singh, who claimed ownership of land measuring 48 Kanal 07 Marla in village Paragpura, Tehsil Akhnoor.
The applicants alleged discrepancies in the land records, asserting that despite their ownership since March 7, 2002, the records still show it under the ownership and possession of the State.
A detailed report from Tehsildar Pargwal, including relevant revenue records, revealed that the applicants indeed purchased the specified land in 2002.
However, discrepancies were identified in the issuance of the Fard, which was dated February 11, 2002, based on the Jamabandi of the year 1966-67 instead of the latest available in 1995-96, contrary to the Land Revenue Act.
Further investigation revealed that a portion of the purchased land, measuring 34 Kanal 06 Marlas, had been escheated to the State under the Agrarian Reform Act, 1976, through Mutation No. 24.
The District Magistrate highlighted two key violations viz The escheatment of the purchased land to the State' & 'The illegal issuance of the Fard by revenue officials, violating provisions of the Land Revenue Act.'
As a result, the District Magistrate ordered the nullification of Mutation No. 42 dated October 3, 2005, specifically concerning the portion escheated to the State.
The Tehsildar Pargwal was directed to implement the order in revenue records promptly and submit an action taken report within 2 days.
Additionally, the delinquent officials responsible for the illegal Fard issuance are to be identified for further necessary action.
Pertinent to mention here that in one case of serious nature of a fraud committed by DC Office Jammu, in first fraud permission granted by DC Office was cancelled but no actions were taken yet on issuing authority & the PoA holder, who managed it & on which registered deeds were managed?
However, after a Reminder issued by Div Com Jammu vide letter dtd 03.04.2023, DC Office Jammu cancelled 04 fraud mutations , which were basically managed on a fraud permission granted by DC Office Jammu itself for the reasons best known to the issuing authority but other part on actions/report sought by Div Com over the other illegality committed by DC Office Jammu is still awaited.
2ndly, when wife of PoA holder herself withdrew cases filed in various courts on the registry of 31 Marla for which mutation stands cancelled following which possession of 17 marla plot gone to original owner, whose plot was encroached with help of Revenue Officers but DC Office despite submissions is not acting to transfer rest 14 Marla excess plot to Govt or not being declared as State Land because out of 31 Marla encroached & registered/mutated on fraud fard stands cancelled.
