Dear Srikantchavan,
Kindly go through the below wesite with regard to "Department of Land & Records" of Maharashtra.
As per me theapplicble law is "The Record-of-Rights Law" & " Land Revenue Code,1913"
The Record-of-Rights Law contained in Chapter X of the Land Revenue Code was enacted in 1913. It has been introduced in all the villages in the district. According to section 135-B (1) of the Land Revenue Code the Record-of-Rights contains the following particulars: —
(1) names of all holders, occupants, owners and mortgagees of the land or assignees of rent or revenue thereof;
(2) nature and extent of interests of such persons and conditions and the liabilities attached thereto (if any) by or to any of such persons; and
(3) rent or revenue payable and such other particulars prescribed, in this behalf.
The State Government have now applied this law to all tenancies under section 135-B (2) of Land Revenue Code. Any acquisition of right in land is to be reported to the village officers by a person acquiring it unless it is registered. Failure to carry out this obligation is liable to fine by way of late fee.
Land Tenures.
Following various systems of tenures prevailed in the district before the passing of various land reforms introduced since 1947: —
(1) Inam Class I
Political and Saranjam.
(2) Inam Class II
Personal Inams.
(3) Inam Class III
Devasthan.
(4) Inam Classes IV and V
Watan and District Officers.
(5) Inam Class VI-A
Service useful to communities.
(6) Inam Class VI-B
Service useful to Government.
Out of these six, the following four were abolished by the various enactments from the dates shown against them: —
1.Watan and District Officers
2.Political and Saranjam
3.Personal Inams
4,Service Inam useful to communities.
The remaining inams noted at serial Nos. 3 and 6, viz., Devasthan Class III and Service Inams useful to Government Class VI are still in existence. Appendix A gives information regarding the land tenures in the district.
