5. As per possession the recording should be made strictly except in the case of encroachers/transfers made within prohibited period of 10 years wherein the invalid transfers shall not be taken cognizance and the R-O-R shall be left in the name of the R.R.&R. Department. This applies to even cases where there is a discrepancy between the possession details the deed particulars. Possession by the refugee is the basic feature. Non-refugees in possession cannot be recognised and the land would be kept recorded in R.R.&R. Department only.
6. A Khatian should be opened in case of lease deed CONRIT or gift or F.H.T.D. if the concerned refugee has not alienated the land within the prohibitory period in a similar fashion as in pattas by doing a math Khasra under any section of the W.B.L.R. Act, 1955 as would be applicable. If the land is sold within the prohibitory period the record will stand in the name of R.R.&R. Department and not in the name of non refugee purchaser. The Proforma ‘B’ would be able to provide guidance.
7. If the B-II Touzi Khatian of the R.R.&R. Department has not been up-dated then it should be updated on the basis of information given in proforma ‘A’.
8. For the case of a lease deed given to a refugees as in type (i) case, the refugee should be told to convert his lease deed into a free-hold right and title deed (FHTD) at the District R.R. & R. Office and then bring it for recording and in no case recording should be done on the basis of a lease deed.
9. For gift deed given to a refugee a Khatian should be opened model of which is all Annexure ‘C’.
10. For free hold title deed given to a refugee recording is shown in model Khatian at Annexure ‘D’.
11. For the case of settlement by the R.R. & R. Department as in the case (iv) the model Khatian is given in Annexure ‘E’.
It is further impressed that correctness of recording of refugees’ lands mostly depends upon the accuracy of the Survey conducted and availability of records from the R.R. & R. local office. In this connection the R.R.&R. Department may be request to facilitate information already available with them. Immediate steps should be taken so as to complete the enter work within 3 months.
