consolidation OF HOLDING
Upon the recommendation of the Hyderabad Land Commission, the
ex-Hyderabad Government introduced the Consolidation of Holdings
Scheme under the provisions of Chapter VII of the Hyderabad
Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950. The scheme of
Consolidation of Holdings was temporarily sanctioned for one year
on an experimental basis [Government of Hyderabad, Revenue
Department, Notification No. 10-V3-I63-55-56, dated 12-11-55.].
The work of consolidation in Bhir district was however started by
a Tahsildar of Consolidation under the supervision of the Director
ot Consolidation from 1st April 1956. The scheme of consolidation
was first launched in 25 villages of Bhir tahsil. [Revenue
Department's Notification No. 134-AB-1069-55-56, dated 24-2-56
under the provisions of section 54 of the Hyderabad Tenancy and
Agricultural Lands Act, 1950.]
The Hyderabad Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of
Holdings Act, 1956 (Act No. XL) was enacted, and given effect to
from 25-9-1956. In the meanwhile, the trifurcation of ex-Hyderabad
State took place and the Bhir district, along with other four
districts of Marathwada, was merged in the old Bombay State. Due
to this, the Hyderabad Prevention of Fragmentation and
Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1956, could not be implemented.
Later on, the government of Bombay, through Revenue Department's
Notification No. CON/104637/M, dated 7th December 1957, decided to
implement the provisions of sections 2 to 48 (both inclusive) of
the Hyderabad Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of
Holdings Act, 1956, with effect from 10th December 1957. Since no
rules were framed under the Hyderabad Prevention of Fragmentation
and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1956, the consolidation work in
Bhir district was continued under the Hyderabad Consolidation of
Holdings Rules, 1956, which were framed under the Hyderabad
Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950. With effect from
1-4-1959, the Bombay Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation
of Holdings (Extension and Amendment) Act, was brought into force
in the Marathwada region. [Government Notification, Revenue
Department No. CON-1058-174445, dated 17th March 1959.]
After the enforcement of the above Act, the consolidation
tahsildar was redesignated as assistant consolidation officer,
Bhir, with his staff on the old Bombay pattern placed under the
control of the newly created office of the consolidation officer,
Aurangabad. Till then the consolidation tahsildar functioned under
the control of the consolidation officer, Nasik, and subsequently
under the consolidation officer, Ahmadnagar.
It has been commonly agreed that there is no proportionate ratio
between the agricultural production and increase in the
population. No more land than the existing can be provided as a
result of increase in the population. It was, therefore, necessary
to check the reasons of low productivity on the agricultural
front.
The increasing pressure of population on the existing land, the
customary laws of inheritance and the sub-divisions of the land
into smaller pieces together reduced the agricultural output.
These fragments constitute uneconomic holdings. It was, therefore,
necessary to consolidate the scattered holdings.
Naturally, with the implementation of the first part of the Bombay
Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act,
1947. the creation of fragments (i.e. sub-division of the land
below the extent of standard area determined under Section 5 of
the Act) will be stopped and with the implementation of the second
part of the Act, the fragments already created and the scattered
lands of the agriculturists will be consolidated, in such a manner
that (i) the time and energy of the agriculturist will not be
wasted and agriculturist will plough the land easily, (ii) that
each land owner will get the land in equal value of his
pre-consolidation holdings, and (iii) that the rights of tenants
will be protected.
One of the most important benefits which the agriculturist would
get from the consolidated land is that he could keep a watch over
the crops more carefully than in scattered pieces, and further he
could avoid the litigation arising out of the boundary disputes
provided that the implementation of the scheme of consolidation is
taken up by the agriculturists in the national spirit and the
scattered holdings are either exchanged or consolidated and
amicably accepted.
There are some fixed principles such as exchange of lands of the
same type, namely jirayat or bagayat.
The scheme of consolidation is first prepared in accordance with
the rules and provisions laid down under the Bombay Prevention of
Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947. The scheme
is then sent to the consolidation officer for his approval and
publication under Section 19 (1) of the Act for one month. If any
objections are received within the stipulated period, the
consolidation officer hears the objections and republishes the
scheme under Section 19 (2) of the Act, after taking into account
the valid objections. The consolidation officer then submits the
scheme for confirmation to the Settlement Commissioner and
Director of Land Records, Poona.
When the scheme is duly confirmed by the Settlement Commissioner
and Director of Land Records, Poona, the assistant consolidation
officer proceeds to execute it in the village.
After execution of the schemes, the assistant consolidation
officer, proceeds with the post-consolidation work such as —
(1) Rewriting of Record-of-Rights.
(2) Preparation of Kami-Jasti patraks.
(3) Printing of village maps.
(4) Issue of transfer certificates.
(5) Preparation of the cyclostyled copies of the schemes.
For the completion of the above work, copies of the confirmed
schemes are sent to the respective offices, i.e., tahsildar,
district inspector of land records and Photozinco Press and the
certificates under Section 2 (1) of the Act are distributed to the
Khatedars of the lands duly registered free of cost.
Under Section 15 of the Act, 69 villages were notified wherein
consolidation work was intended to be taken up. In 14 out of the
69 selected villages, two schemes have been executed under the
Hyderabad Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950, and twelve
schemes under the Bombay Prevention of Fragmentation and
Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947. Thus the schemes of
consolidation of holdings in Bhir tahsil have been enforced only
in 14 villages covering an area of 5,670 hectares (0.14 lakhs
acres) The work of rewriting the Record-of-Rights in respect of
the above 14 villages as per enforced schemes of consolidation has
been completed and promulgated.
The standard area under Section 5 of the Bombay Prevention of
Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947, has been
determined in 1964. [Maharashtra Government Gazette Notification,
Revenue Department, No. CON-4164-1204I7.V, dated 30th September
1965.] The standard area fixed in respect of the Bhir district is
as below: —
|
|
Acres |
Gunthas |
|
Jirayat
or dry land |
2 |
00 |
|
Bagayat
or wet land |
0 |
20 |
The work regarding noting of fragments in Record-of-Rights in
accordance with the standard area is in progress.
