Dear Viewers,
I Show that in this Vedio Record Correction rule?
Khatian is a Persian word . It is also known as record of rights.
It is a document for identification of land. Documents prepared through
survey for the purpose of determining possession, ownership and assessing
Land Development Tax is known as Khatiyan. All particulars of land,
including name/s, father’s name, address/es and due share/s of the owners/
owners, description of land, and amount of revenue are described in
Khatian. Every Khatian or record of rights is preserved in the Collectorate
Record Room and Judge Record Room and also in the Tahsil (rent collection
office) for reference. A Tahsil office, usually one in every large or two small
unions, works to implement changes in land ownership due to transfer,
inheritance etc. by updating records through a process called mutation.
Mutation cases are heard and disposed of by a revenue officer at the Thana
level now designated Assistant Commissioner, Land. The Thasilder, or head
of a Tahsil office, conducts a preliminary spot inquiry to ascertain the
genuineness of a mutation prayer. Apart from these, he has many other
functions, for instance he has to keep a complete list of government Khas
land, which includes land in excess of the ceiling on ownership and
surrendered to the government. The holder of each plot has a right to get a
certified copy of the khatian being a public document by payment of
prescribed fee.
3. Different types of Record of Rights or Khatians
Different types of record of rights or khatians are prepared under different
surveys, namely:
a. Mughi Survey or Harvey Survey.
b. Cadastral Survey (C.S.).
c. Revisional Survey (R.S.).
d. Pakistan Survey (P.S.)/ State Acquisition Survey (S.A.).
e. Bangladesh Survey (B.S.).
A brief description about these surveys is as follows:
3.1. Mughi Survey or Harvey Survey:
Mughi Survey was conducted first Mr. Harvey was ap pointed to conduct the survey in British regime. For
that reason, this survey is also called Harvey survey. Mr. Harvey conducted
survey in 1832 to 1840. Unfortunately, Mr. Harvey died in 1840 and his name
was replaced by Mr. Henry’s and he completed the survey in 1848.The most
prominent relies; for instance, of the incursions of the Arrakanese (Mughi)
in to Eastern Bengal are the use to this day to the mughi (Arrakanese). No
maps were prepared in this survey. The measurements were recorded only in
the Chitta. It is important to mention here that, no khatiyan of subordinate
tenures or raiyati holdings was prepared and in fact the details of occupancy
which are fully recorded in the Chitta were not abstracted, so that the Chitta
has taken the place of the modern record of rights as far as it concerns
tenancies.
Different observations of the courts have been reflected in different
judgments relating to the Chitta or field book of mughi survey. Chitta is not
a public document when created by the government having interest in the
land. WhenChittadag and cadastral survey (C.S.) record show
possession of two different persons, it must be presumed that at some time
between two periods the person recorded in the Chittadag lost their
possession and that the person whose name appears in the C.S. khatian
obtained possession, although there is no presumption regarding the exact
time at which the change of affairs took place. It is not necessary to hold that
Mughi Chitta is wrong.
Each record must be presumed to be correct at its date and since the
position indicated by the entries in the Chittas could during the interval, well
change into the position indicated by the cadastral survey and revisional
survey (R.S.) records, the latter position is not shown to be impossible or
invalid in law.
3.2. Cadastral Survey (C.S.) Record of Rights
In 1877, a proposal was made for a general cadastral survey to enable the
position of each plot of 1848 survey to identify with accuracy and to assess
excess area encroached upon by holder of permanently settled estates.
Cadastral survey was initiated in Ramu Thana of Cox’s Bazar in 1888-89 and
completed in Dinazpur. The survey was done entirely by the Survey
Department under The Bengal Tenancy Act, 1885 and was commenced in
the season 1888-90 and completed by June 1893 in Chittagong Division with
the exception of following area, amounting to 489 square miles which had
been exempted from detailed survey, viz, the permanent settled portion of
the Moheshkhali Island and certain hills covered with jungle including the
Ramgarh-Sitakunda reserved forest and extensive jungle in the Cox’s Bazar
subdivision. Cadastral survey of Banskhali and Satkania was commenced.
