Revenue courts in all Telangana districts
Hyderabad: Bidding adieu to the courts of Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), Joint Collector and District Collector, the Telangana government is all set to usher in revenue courts in all districts. They are expected to be in place by the end of February. This was one of the key decisions taken at the day-long Collectors' conference at Pragati Bhavan here on Tuesday.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who presided over the meeting, said that during the records ‘purification’ programme, it has been found that there was no problem with respect to 93 per cent of land records as they had no litigation. Revolutionary changes are going to take place in the revenue records maintenance once the pattadar passbook distribution programme is completed on March 11, the Chief Minister said.
The Chief Minister said that the revenue courts will dispose off the land-related disputes without any intervention of other officials at district level. An exclusive website called ‘Dharani’ will be launched. It will update the details of the sale and purchase of lands. The government also simplified the land record maintenance procedures using simple Telugu language.
The Chief Minister told the officials that there was no need for a separate Registration department. Apart from 141 sub-registrar offices, 443 mandal offices will also take care of the registration work from March. Registration offices will be there in 584 mandals. The government will introduce a system like the Core Banking System. Entries will be made into the seller and buyer passbooks immediately with the required changes and additions. For this, high-end computers and servers are being put in place.
Passbooks to seller and buyer will be sent by the courier. Reviewing the arrangements made for the distribution of pattadar passbooks on March 11, KCR instructed collectors to appoint a nodal officer in every village for the purpose. Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Council Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Ministers, MLAs, MLCs, ZP Chairpersons, ZPTC members, Mandal presidents, all elected representatives, collectors, joint collectors will take part in the distribution programme. A separate vehicle will be arranged for every village to supply the passbooks, the chief minister said.
