Chandigarh
Haryana Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh here today accorded approval to bring an ordinance to further amend the Haryana Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act 1961.
According to the proposed amendment, ownership of land in shamilat deh, which were allotted on lease basis for a period of 20 years under the East Punjab Utilization of Lands Act 1949 and the said land has been in cultivating possession of the original allottee, transferee or their legal heir is slated to be excluded from the ambit of shamilat deh with immediate effect.
In addition, it is also proposed that the original lessee, transferee or their legal heir will have to pay an amount to the Gram Panchayat concerned for the transfer of ownership rights to them. This amount will be determined by the collector upon application by the occupant, following principles and procedures as prescribed. This will benefit thousands of farmers in the State who have been cultivating such lands since decades.
Furthermore, ownership of such Panchayat land will be transferred by sale to the inhabitants of the village who have constructed their houses on or before March 31, 2004, up to a maximum of 500 square yards, including open space, at a rate not less than market fee.
This will enable the panchayats to regularise the old cases were houses have been constructed by the inhabitants on Panchayat land and at the same time lead to income of panchayats from such sale of land. It will also end many pending litigations in various courts across the state.
