No. 25/57/2005-LR.II/3337

All the Commissioners of the Division/

Deputy Commissioners and

Sub-Divisional Magistrates in the State..

Chandigarh, dated the 3-10-2005.

Subject: Disposal of Uncontested/Contested Mutations and Unregistered/Registered wills on time bound basis.

*******

Sir,

I am directed to refer to the subject noted above and to say that Para 7.4(vii) of the Punjab Land Record Manual interalia lays down that an uncontested mutation shall be attested by the Revenue Officer within a period of three months from the date of concurrence of the event necessitating the mutation. For the disposal of the contested mutation this period shall not exceeded six months from such date. The Patwari shall make the necessary entries in the mutation register within one month of the event necessitating the mutation and the attestation work shall be completed within the remaining period.

2. Attention in this connection, is invited to Section 34 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 which is also reproduced as under:-

“34. Making of that part of the annual record which relates to landowners, assignees of the revenue and occupancy tenants:-

(1) Any person acquiring by inheritance, purchase, mortgage, otherwise, any right in an estate as a land-owner, assignee of land revenue or tenant having a right of occupancy, shall report his acquisition of the right to the patwari of the estate.

(2) If the person acquiring the right is a minor or otherwise disqualified, his guardian or other person having charge of his property shall make the report to the Patwari.

(3) The Patwari shall enter in his register of mutations every report made to him under sub-section (1) or sub-section (2), and shall also make an entry therein respecting the acquisition of any such right as aforesaid which he has reason to believe to have taken place, and of which a report should been made to him under one or other of those of sub-section has not been so made.

(4) A Revenue– Officer shall from time inquire into the correctness of all entries in the register of mutations and into all such acquisitions as aforesaid coming to his knowledge of which, under the foregoing sub- section, report should have been made to the patwari and entry made in that register and shall in each case make such order as he thinks fit with respect to the entry in the annual record of the right acquired.

(5) Such an entry shall be made by the insertion in that record of description of the right acquired and by the omission from that record of any entry in any record previously prepared which by reason of the acquisition has ceased to be correct.

3. It would also be useful to refer to the entries in the death register maintained by the Chowkidar of the village and or the Department of Health and Family Welfare duly corroborated by the death certificate issued by the competent authority.

4. The matter of entering and disposal of mutation has been considered by the Government in the light of existing provisions of Land Revenue Act, Land Records Manual and the “b?v foekov rkfJv” and it is felt that too much time is taken in entering the mutation on the basis of the information available from the above said sources including the Wills. In the wake of fast communication, it has been decided that the patwari must enter the mutation within a period of 15 days from the event necessitating such an entry of mutation. Thereafter, the uncontested/ undisputed mutation should be decided within a period of one month. The villages adjacent to each other and geographically contiguous area should be taken as a cluster and one day fixed for considering the mutation as already laid down vide Punjab Government letter No 25 /109 /2001- L. R.2/ 9533, dated 16-10-2001. An advance notice may be given to the concerned villagers and a copy of such notice should always be put on the notice board in the tehsil, locality of the villages concerned besides mushtari munadi as usual. The Revenue Officer should put up the particulars of the mutations sanctioned or rejected on the notice board on the same day. The Patwari shall specifically report to the concerned Circle Revenue Officer on the last date of every month about the mutations entered and pending.

5. It has also been decided that the mutation fee should be got deposited at the time of registering the deed. A note of this effect must be given on the ‘parcha yadashat’ that fees have actually been deposited wherever mutation has to be considered. In addition, the person concerned may also produce the receipt showing that the fee has been deposited in respect of the particular mutation. The fees once deposited shall not be refunded even if the mutation is rejected/not sanctioned since the process of consideration of mutation has been completed.

6. Similarly, the cases of disputed mutation be decided within a period of three months. The process of service of respondents should be done through the issue of dasti summons, mushtari munadi and registered AD simultaneously for speedy completion of this process.

7. The cases filed by NRIs shall be taken up by the Fast Track Courts set up by the Department of Revenue vide letter No. VO/FCR/2005/6508-6513,dated 5-9-2005.

8. Amendment as may be necessary in the provisions of LRM will be conveyed in due course.

9. These instructions may be meticulously complied with and failure to comply with these instructions shall attract the disciplinary proceedings under the relevant rules. This may be brought to the notice of all the officers/officials concerned.

Subject:- Change in the entries of Khasra Girdawari in respect of widows consequent upon the death of husband who was cultivating the land.

*******

Sir,

I am directed to refer to the subject noted above and to say that change in the entries of khasra girdawari consequent upon the death of the person in whose name the entries of the khasra girdawari stood at the time of his death, the NRI (s) and the serving members of Armed Forces of the Union whose name figures in the cultivating column has been engaging the attention of the State Government.

2 The matter has been considered at length and it has been decided that the entries of khasra girdawari of land standing in the name of NRI (s) in the cultivating column should not be changed except with his/their prior written consent. This practice should also be made applicable to the serving members of the Armed Forces of the Union as well as to persons who are serving on government/non-government assignments in far away stations. Further, if the name of a person existed in the cultivating column on the date of his death and the girdawari was standing in his name the entry should be changed to the name of his widow/legal heirs of the deceased. In other words, the girdawari is to continue in his name till it is changed to the name of the of his legal heirs. It should not be changed without the written and prior consent of the legal heirs.

3. These instructions may be brought to the notice of the officers/officials concerned for meticulous compliance

4. Formal amendment in the relevant provisions of the Land Record Manual shall be made in due course of time. .

*******

Sir,

This is in continuation to the letter of even number Dated21^st

September 2005 with which a copy of the Gazette of India-Extraordinary- Part 11Section 1 – No 41 dated September 6, 2005, was enclosed.

2. In this regard, Ministry of Law, Government of India’s opinion dated 6^th October 2005 is reproduced below:

“MHA seeks to be advised whether after the coming into force of the Displace Persons Claims and Other Laws Repeal Act, 2005, all/some of the notified authorities under Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954 will be deemed to be discontinued or not.

“2. the Displaced Persons (Claims) Act,1950, the Administration of the Evacuee Property Act, 1950, the Evacuee interest ( Separation ) Act, 1951, the Displaced Persons ( Claims ) Supplementary Act, 1954 and the Displaced persons ( Compensation and Rehabilitation ) Act, 1954 were enacted, inter alia to make provisions for the registration and verification of claims of displaced persons in respect of immovable property in Pakistan, the administration of evacuee, providing for the separation of the interests of evacuees from those of other persons in property in which other persons are also interested, the payment of compensation and rehabilitation grant to displaced persons and the disposal of certain proceedings pending under the Displaced Persons ( Claims ) Act, 1950.

3. It had come to the notice of Central Govt. that a number of persons unconnected with claimants, posing as their legal heirs were presenting fraudulent claims for lands. It was therefore, felt necessary to repeal the aforesaid Acts and to discourage such fraudulent claims and consequently these Acts were repealed by the Displaced Persons Claims and Other Laws Repeal Act, 2005. The repealing Act was enacted pursuant to the recommendations of Core Group which recommended the repeal of aforesaid Acts and Rules make there under .

“4. The question for our consideration therefore is whether the proceedings, which were initiated before the repeal of aforesaid Acts, could continue even after the said repeal. In this contest Sec6(c) of the General Clauses Act (GC Act) would be relevant which reads as under:

Effect of repeal- Where this Act or any Central Act or regulation made after the commencement of this Act, repeals any enactment hitherto made or hereafter to be made, then, unless a different intention appears shall not-

(c) affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under any enactment so repealed; or

“5. In Kohlapur Canesagar’s case (AIR 2000 SC 811), the Apex Court has held as under:

The position is well known that at common law, the normal effect of repealing a statute or deleting a provision is to obliterate it from the statute book as completely as it had never been passed, and the statute must be considered as a law that never existed. To this rule, an exception is engrafted by the provisions of Section 6(1). If a provision of a statute is unconditionally omitted without a saving clause in favour of pending proceedings, all actions must stop where the omission finds them and if final relief has not been granted, before the ommission goes into effect, it cannot be granted afterwards. Saving of the nature contained in Section 6 or in special acts may modify the position. Thus the operation of repeal or deletion as to the future and the past largely depends on the savings applicable. In a-case where a particular provision in a statute is omitted and in its place another provision dealing with the same contingency is introduced without a saving clause then it can be reasonably inferred that the intention of the legislature is that the pending proceedings shall not continue but a fresh proceeding for the same purpose may be initiated under the new provision.

“6. Now, coming back to Section 6(C) of the GC Act and the effect thereof on the proceedings, a reference may be made to decision of Apex Court in M.S Shiyananda case (1980) 1.SCC 149 therein the Apex Court has held as under:

The distinction between what is , and what is not a right preserved by the provision of Section 6 of the General Clauses Act is often one of great fineness. What is unaffected by the repeal of a statute is a right acquired or accrued under it and not a mere hope or expectation of, or liberty to apply for, acquiring a right.

“7. The Apex Court in Bansidhar case 1989 (2) SCC 557 has again held that “right” must be “Accrued” and not merely an in inchoate one.

“8. Thus under the repealed Acts, there is no “accrued” or “acquired” right in favour of the claimants what is a mere hope or expectations.

“9. In view of the above legal position and reading through SOR of said repealing Act, we are of the opinion that the proceedings under the repealed Acts will come to an end and cannot continue after such repeal”.

2. Special attention is invited to Para-9 of Ministry of Law’s opinion.

3. You are advised to take appropriate necessary action without delay.

Yours faithfully,

3. Ministry of Law, vide their opinion dated 9^th November 2005 have opined that:-

Memo No:2/66/70-PL-II/6729

Chandigarh, dated the:6-11-06

Subject: THE DISPLACED PERSONS CLAIMS AND OTHER LAWS REPEAL

ACT 2005- REGARDING.

Reference: This office memo No.2/66/70-PL-II/4538 dated 1.12.2005.

*****

Kindly refer to this department memo under reference vide which a copy of Notification issued by Ministry of Law & Justice, Legislative Department, New Delhi, published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary Part-II, Section I-No.44 dated 6.9.2005 vide which the copy of notification of Displaced Persons Claims and other Laws Repeal Act 2005 (No.38 of 2005) was sent to you for taking immediate necessary action. Vide this Notification the following enactments have been repealed:-

S.No.	Name of the Act	Year	Act No.
1.	The Administration of Evacuee Property Act.	1950	31
2.	The Displaced Persons (Claims Act)	1950	44
3.	The Evacuee Interest (Separation ) Act	1951	64
4.	The Displaced Persons (Claims) Supplementary Act	1954	12
5.	The Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act.	1954	44

1. The question has been raised about the matters which were pending at the time of notification of the Repeal Act i.e. on 6.9.2005. On this question the Govt. of India, Ministry of Home Affairs have clarified the Position vide No.MHA/RD/SW/CC/99 dated 19-10-2005. The relevant part is reproduced as follow :-

“MHA seeks to be advised whether after the coming into force of the Displaced Persons claims and Other Laws Repeal Act 2005, all/some of the notified authorities under Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954 will be deemed to be discontinued or not.”

2. The Displaced Persons (Claims) Act,1950, the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, the Evacuee interest (Separation) Act, 1951, the Displaced Persons (Claims) Supplementary Act. 1954 and the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954 were enacted, inter-alia to make provisions for the registration and verification of claims of displaced persons in respect of immovable property in Pakistan, the administration of evacuee, providing for the separation of the interests of evacuees from those of other persons in property in which other persons are also interested, the payment of compensation and rehabilitation grant to displaced persons and the disposal of certain proceedings pending under the Displaced Persons (Claims) Act, 1950.

3. It had come to the notice of Central Govt. that a number of persons unconnected with claimants, posing as their legal heirs were presenting fraudulent claims for lands. It was therefore, felt necessary to repeal the aforesaid Acts and to discourage such fraudulent claims and consequently these Acts were repealed by the Displaced Persons Claims and other Laws Repeal Act. 2005. The repealing Act was enacted pursuant to the recommendation of Core Group which recommended the repeal of aforesaid Acts and Rules made thereunder.

4. The question for our consideration therefore is whether the proceedings, which were initiated before the repeal of aforesaid Acts, could continue even after the said repeal. In this context Sec.6(c) of the General Clauses Act (GC Act) would be relevant which reads as under:-

Effect of Repeal- Where this Act, or any Central Act or regulation made after the commencement of this Act, repeals any enactment hitherto made or hereafter to be made, then, unless a different intention appears shall not-

(c) affect any right , privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under any enactment so repealed; or

5. In Kolhapur Canesugar’s case (AIR 2000 SC 811), the Apex Court has held as under :

The position is well known that at common law, the normal effect of repealing a statute or deleting a provision is to obliterate it from the statute book as completely as it had never been passed, and the statute must be considered as a law that never existed. To this rule, an exception is engrafted by the provisions of section 6(1). If a provision of a statute is unconditionally omitted without a saving clause in favour of pending proceedings, all actions must stop where the omission finds them and if final relief has not been granted before the omission goes into effect, if cannot be granted afterwards. Saving of the nature contained in section 6 or in special acts may modify the position. Thus the operation of repeal or deletion as to the further and the past largely depends on the savings applicable. In a case where a particular provision in a statute is omitted and in its place another provisions dealing with the same contingency is introduced without a saving clause then it can be reasonably inferred that the intention of the legislature is that the pending proceedings shall not continue but a fresh proceeding for the same purpose may be initiated under the new provision.

6. Now coming back to section 6(c) of the GC Act and the effect thereof on the proceedings a reference may be made to decision of Apex Court in MS/Shivananda Case 1980 1 SCC 149 wherein the Apex Court has held as under:-

“The distinction between what is and what is not a right preserved by the provision of Section 6 of the General Clauses Act is often one of great fineness. What is unaffected by the repeal of a statute is a right acquired or accrued under it and not a mere hope or expectation of”, or liberty to apply for acquiring a right.

7. The Apex Court in Bansidhar case 1982, 2 SCC 557 has again held that the ‘right’ must be ‘accrued’ and not merely an inchoate one.

8. Thus under the repealed Acts, there is no ‘accrued’ or ‘acquired’ right in favour of the claimants but is a mere hope or expectation.

9. In view of the above legal position and reading through SOR of said repealing Act, we are of the opinion that the proceedings under the repealed Acts will come to an end and cannot continue after such repeal.”

II. The Govt. of India further issued a clarification vide their No.MHA/RD/SW/99 dated 18-11-2005 as under :

“As observed from the Repealed Act, 2005 there is no saving clause in the Repealing Act which would validate the actions taken before coming into force of the Act. The statutory authorities appointed are required to exercise their powers or take actions as mentioned in the Repealed Act. Hence in view thereof, after the repeal of these acts no action can be taken or any authority exercised under the repealed acts by these notified authorities. In the circumstances the notified authorities shall be deemed to be discontinued.”

In view of this position, the proceedings under the repealed Acts have come to an end and cannot continue after such repeal. And, no further action can be taken under the repealed Acts after 6.9.2005 as all the authorities under those Acts have ceased to exist w.e.f.6.9.2005 the date of notification.
