Karauli: District Collector Sets Deadline for Revenue Cases; Issues Strict Orders on Land Disputes and Encroachments

Karauli: In a high-level review meeting held at the Collectorate auditorium on Monday, Karauli District Collector Akshay Godara took a firm stance on the pendency of revenue cases. Presiding over a gathering of revenue officers, the Collector scrutinized the progress of budget announcements and land allotment cases, directing officials to ensure time-bound completion of public welfare tasks.

Zero Tolerance for Delay in Land Disputes

Addressing the long-standing issues of Pattagarhi (demarcation) and pathway disputes, Collector Godara instructed officers to handle such matters with sensitivity and urgency. Key directives included:

• Police Assistance: In cases where there is a risk of law-and-order disruption, revenue officials must conduct on-ground proceedings with the support of the police force.
• Quality Adjudication: Cases pending in revenue courts must be resolved with high-quality legal standards and within a fixed timeframe.
• Priority Summons: To expedite justice, the serving of notices and summons must be prioritized to avoid unnecessary legal delays.

Crackdown on Illegal Mining and Encroachments

The Collector took a tough stand against illegal mining in the district, ordering joint operations to ensure strict action against violators. He also emphasized the protection of land belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), directing the immediate removal of encroachments on such properties as well as on government-owned and pasture (charagah) lands.

Comprehensive Review of Revenue Operations

The meeting covered an extensive agenda aimed at streamlining administrative processes:

• Record Purification: Focus on mutation (namantarkaran), purification of land records, and mutual division of accounts.
• Land Allotment: Speedy disposal of land allotment files for landless farmers and various government departments to accelerate developmental projects.
• Revenue Villages: Review of proposals to convert hamlets (Majras and Dhanis) into new revenue villages.
• Revenue Collection: Assessment of income from registrations, land revenue, and other outstanding recoveries.

Focus on Budget Implementation and Public Grievances

Reviewing the status of the state government’s budget announcements, the Collector ordered their timely execution. He instructed Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) and Tehsildars to conduct regular public hearings (Jansunwai) at the sub-division level.

“Officials must resolve public problems on the spot so that citizens do not have to travel long distances for simple administrative tasks,” Godara stated.

The meeting was attended by Additional District Collector Hemraj Paridwal, all SDMs of the district, Tehsildars, and other senior officials of the revenue department.

Key Action Points:

• Illegal Mining: Joint task forces to be mobilized immediately.
