This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,
I'm a resident of Siddapur (Uttara Kannada) located in western ghats. We have an agricultural land of 2 acres which was aquired during 1960's. We have all proper documents and have been paying taxes regularly from past 55 plus years.
The said land is a Hangami Lagani ( i do not know the exact term for this in english - it is a word used in kannada in the land records) converted from atikraman in late 1950's.
We need to get a seal from O/o the DC for registration. I do not know why they are not doing it from years now. When I visited Revenue office in Bangalore, i was told that notice is being issued to all Tahasildars for necessary action. They are not denying it by issuing a letter. Just an oral rejection. I don't know the rules / procedures to proceed further.
Please help.

Apparently, you are in occupation of government lands which could be regularised through grant of a sanad. Such grants do not require any registration.

I did not understand the meaning of 'do not require registration' ? Not required is a different part. I was asking How?
And what is Sanad?

Consult a local lawyer professing in revenue cases.

Registration is required (under the Indian Registration Act) when their is conveyance of property from one title holder to another; this is carried out in the capacity of the owner of the land. A sanad (or patta) is a document signifying grant of land by the Government in its sovereign capacity. Such grants or assignment do not require registration.
