Bihar Land Registry: After the order of the Supreme Court, the registration of land documents has picked up pace in the sub-registrar offices of the district. Now the registration offices have become lively instead of deserted. On the very first day on Monday, more than 514 people got their land registered in the five registration offices of Bettiah, Chanpatia, Lauriya, Narkatiaganj and Bagaha.
If we look at the statistics, every office has taken an average of a century to get the land registered. District Under Registrar Amarendra Kumar said that the Supreme Court has ordered to do the registration as per the old rule, in which the requirement of Jamabandidar in the name of the land owner has been abolished. Now land holders will be able to register the land of Jamabandidars in the name of their ancestors.
If we look at the figures, those who got land registered in Bettiah Registration Office have booked 106 slots. Whereas in Chanpatia, 101 in Lauria, 104 in Narkatiaganj and 102 in Bagaha, 101 people have booked their plots. According to office sources, due to registration of land under the old rules, the number of start books will increase. Due to which revenue will also increase.
The High Court had banned it on 22 February
On February 22, the High Court had banned the registration of such lands in whose name the land was not registered. According to the order only he could sell the land. This means that the person whose name will be registered in Register 2 in the zonal office. You can sell the land there. Now selling by other people is banned.
The order to implement the new rule has been given by Deputy Inspector General of Registration Manoj Kumar Sanjay on the instructions of the High Court. There was discussion that in the coming days, this rule will be beneficial and there will be a huge reduction in land disputes. After which there was a significant reduction in the booking of slots for land registration in the registration offices. Revenue was also being lost.
Now the land need not be in the name of the depositors.
After the Supreme Court put a stay on the High Court order, the requirement of having land in the name of Jamabandidars has ended. Now anyone can sell land in the name of his ancestors. In such a situation, the powers of the land mafia will again come to the fore.
Now they will start the work of buying and selling land from the descendants and relatives of the Jamabandidars, whereas their activity had reduced after the High Court order three months ago. Landholders got a lot of relief.
