Three-month deadline to dispose applications for land regularisation: Minister R V Deshpande

June 19: Revenue Minister R V Deshpande addressed a meeting at the deputy commissioner’s office in Mangalore on Tuesday, June 18. The minister has set a three-month deadline to clear the applications for regularisation of land under Sections 94 C and 94 CC (Akrama Sakrama) of Karnataka Land Revenue Act.
He said that 10,128 applications were pending under 94C. While 1,07,190 applications were received, 45,853 applications were approved and 51,209 were rejected in the district. Under 94 CC, 5,524 applications are pending. The district has received up to 40,245 applications and 23,719 were accepted. When asked about 97 pending applications for disposal under 94CC in Bantwal, the tahsildar said that the beneficiaries had failed to pay the fees fixed by the government to regularise land. The minister directed the tahsildars to convene a meeting of such beneficiaries and convince them to pay, as many are not aware of the payment. On title deeds that are ready for distribution, Deshpande directed the tahsildars to distribute them within 15 days. Probationary tahsildar Ganapathi Shastri informed that a total of 5,953 applications are pending for disposal under 94C and 94 CC in Belthangady taluk.
