No. 2(505)G-5/Policy-lII/10273-84, dated
Jalandhar, the 7th July, 1981.
Sub: Disposal
of surplus rural evacuee agricultural lands/properties.
Memorandum:
The
work regarding disposal of acquired rural evacuee lands/properties was with held
ill order to re-examine the policy. The Government have now decided to resume
the work with some modifications. These changes ill the policy are given as
under for future guidance's and strict adherence:
(i) In respect of cultivable rural
evacuee land which is not transferable on the basis of possession, the
unauthorized occupations should be got vacated and land disposed of ill
restricted or open auction as provided under Rule 6 Par IV of the Punjab
Package Deal Properties (Disposal) Rules, 1976.
(ii) Application received for the transfer of
the rural evacuee land under the various Press Note issued by the State
Government, on the basis of possession should be processed expeditiously and
disposed of within a period of one month positively.
(iii) In certain cases, it was noticed that the
disposal of some applications on the basis of possession was with-held as the
land ill possession of the occupants became urban or sub-urban on account of
the extension of civil limits of the adjoining towns. All these applications
should now be processed ill accordance with the extant policy. Such of the
persons who are found eligible to the transfer of land ill their possession, be
provided alternative rural agricultural evacuee land at the rates fixed. The
sub urban/urban land so vacated by these persons shall be disposed of by the
Tehsildars (Sales)/Naib Tehsildars (Sales) appointed on urban side. All the
pending applications should accordingly be processed and finalized within a
month. The number of eligible cases together with the area involved
Tehsil-\Vise should be communicated to this Department by 31st July,1981,
positively.
(iv) The reserve price of the rural evacuee
land to be disposed of by restricted/ open auction was fixed as far back in the
year 1961-62. Since the value of the land has appreciated, it has been decided
that the reserve price already fixed in each assessment circle should be
enhanced three times. The reserve prices have already been communicated to you.
So while conducting the future sales, it should be ensured that the highest
bids are accepted after enhancing the previous assessed price as directed
above. Revised prices are being communicated to you separately.
(v) In respect of uncultivable lands
comprising Banjar Qadim Mumkin land etc. It has also been decided that after
transferring the chunks of land measuring 20 Acres or above to the Forest
Department for Afforestation and meeting with the demand of State Industries
Department I n respect. of rural land required for Industrialization or the
land required I by the Village
Panchayats for common purposes, the rest of the land should be disposed of by
open auction. A reference has been made to the above referred Department to
indicate their requirements. As soon as requirements are received from these
quarters, further instructions would follow.
The
disposal of the land has now to be taken up in the light of the decisions
referred to above. Where necessary, the existing rules are being amended to
provided legal sanctity to the aforesaid decisions.

To
All the Tehsildars (Sales), in the
State.
No. MTC/U. 1/11388-95, dated, Jullundur, the
21st July, 1981.
Subject: Disposal of sites
left-un-developed due to revised layouts in the Model Colonies viz., Model Towns,
Model Houses, 8 Marla Cheap Tenements, 4 Marla Cheap Tenements, Shopping
Centres and Mud hut Colonies, etc., set up by the State Rehabilitation
Department in Punjab-Occupation and illegal construction raised thereon.
Memorandum
The question of disposal of open
sites left undeveloped in the Rehabilitation Colonies, as a result of revised
lay-outs prepared by the Public Works Department, at the execution stage and
subsequently, which are under unauthorised occupations, has been engaging the
attention of Government. It has now been decided that these open sites may be
sold by private treaty to- the unauthorised occupants at a fixed valuation', as
may be determined by the Government, subject to the following conditions:
(i) The possession of an occupant is
un-disputed and continuous from January 1, 1977 and he has raised construction
thereon, on or before the said date.
N .B. In no case, such open sites as
are under temporary constructions, thatched huts, Khokhas, etc., should be
transferred ;
(ii) The intended transferee should be head of
the family, having independent means of livelihood;
(iii) A transferee shall be liable to pay damage
charges for the use and occupation of the site, as may be approved by the
Deputy Secretary (Reh)-cum-Collector;
(iv) It is not proposed to invite applications
from the unauthorised occupants of the open sites. The Rehabilitation Authority
(Tehsildar Sales) posted in a District will inspect each site, obtain
application from the occupant on the spot and process it for the purposes of
determining his eligibility, in accordance with the procedure laid down for the
transfer of urban Package Deal/Administrative and Financial Arrangement,
Properties.
(v) The 'fixed valuation' shall be the market
price which may be assessed by the Rehabilitation Authority (Tehsildar Sales),
keeping in view the following criteria:-
(a)
The value of the property in the neighbourhood.
(b) The general prevailing market price of
the similar urban property in that locality, which may be worked out on the
basis of sale transactions held during the preceding one year .
(c) In case, in a particular locality no
transaction is found to have been made in the preceding one year , the last ,
transaction if any, in that locality or in the adjoining locality, be taken as
the basis and the market price be fixed by enhancing the amount of the last
transaction by 10 per cent per year.
(d) In absence of any sale transaction in the
locality or in the adjoining locality, the transactions held during the preceeding
one year in the neighbouring localities should be adopted as the basis. In
case) no transaction in the preceeding one year in the neighbouring localities
is found, then last transaction should be adopted as the basis and the market
price be fixed by enhancing the amount of the last transaction by 10 per cent
per year.
(e) The market price shall be subject to
approval by the Deputy Secretary (Reh)-cum-Deputy Commissioner, except in . the
cases falling under ( d) above) which shall be subject to -the approval by
Government.
(vi) In the case of a' Scheduled
Castes/Backward Classes occupant, 'fixed valuation' shall be 25 per cent of the
market price) determined for a site.
(vii) Each transfer shall be subject to approval by
the Deputy Secretary (Reh)-cum-Deputy Commissioner.
(viii) A successful transferee, other than a
member of the scheduled Castes/Backward Classes) shall make payment of the
earnest money equivalent to 25 per cent of the market price to the. Rehabilitation
Authority (Tehsildar Sales) at the time of determination of his eligibility by
the latter. A successful transferee who is a member of the Scheduled
Castes/Backward Classes shall be liable to pay earnest money equivalent to 25
per cent of the price recoverable from him.
(ix) After the confirmation of the transfer by
the Deputy Secretary (Reh)-cum-Deputy Commissioner, the balance price shall be
payable by the transferee in lump-sum within 15 days of the receipt of notice
by the transferee to this effect or in such period as may be extended by a
competent Rehabilitation Authority.
(x) Such of the transferees as are desirious
of making payment of the balance price in instalments shall pay the same as
follows: -
(a) Scheduled
Caste/Backward Class occupants
In 12 half yearly equated
instalments with interest at 4 per cent per annum; the earnestly money paid by
them being the first instalment; and
(b) Non-Scheduled
Castes and non-Backward Classes occupants.
In three half-yearly equated
instalments with interest at 6 per cent per annum, excluding the amount of
earnest money already paid by them.
(xi) In the event of default in the payment of
any instalment by a transferee, penal interest at 9 per cent per annum shall be
charged on the defaulted amount.
(xii) If a transferee commits default in the
payment of two consecutive instalments, the Deputy Secretary (Reh)-cum-Deputy
Commissioner, shall be competent to proceed with the recovery of the defaulted
amount as arrears of land revenue, provided no order to this effect is made by
him, without giving to the person concerned a reasonable opportunity of being
heard. An order thus made by him would be subject to revision and appeal as
provided in the East Punjab Refugees Rehabilitation (Building and Building
Sites) Act, 1948.
2.
While transferring the above sites, due care should be taken that the plots
notified as Parks or reserved for common or public purposes are not transferred
to the unauthorised occupants. Such plots should be got vacated and the same
may be transferred to the Municipal Committee concerned.
3. The
plots earmarked for commercial purposes, i.e." shopping Centres or for any
other commercial activities should not be transferred on the basis of
possession. These plots should be got vacated and disposed of by open auction.
4. A
survey of the Rehabilitation Colonies had already been undertaken with a view
to determining the dimensions of the problem. The lists thus prepared contain
the names of the unauthorised occupants and the area in each one's respective
possession. While allowing the transfer of open sites, these lists should
invariably be consulted to safeguard against the possibility of any undeserved
transfer to an occupant, who has entered upon the possession of an open site
after the crucial date of January 1, 1977.
5. Such
of the open sites as are required to be sold by open auction should be disposed
of after getting the market price thereof approved by the Government and after
giving wide publicity in accordance with the procedure already laid down for
the disposal of urban Package Deal and Administrative and Financial Arrangement
properties.
6. It
should be ensured that no open site in any Rehabilitation Colonies is allowed
to be encroached upon or un-authorisedly occupied by any person. You should
undertake constant survey of these colonies and if any fresh encroachment or
unauthorised construction comes to your notice, immediate steps should be taken
to remove the same, according to law.

No. 2(505)/G-5/Policy-III/1714-1805 Dated
Mohali 3/2/1983
Sub: Disposal
of surplus rural evacuee Agri. Land.
Memorandum
The
salient features of the policy evolved for the disposal of surplus rural
evacuee agricultural land are as under :
(1)
Transfer
on the basis of possession with effect from Rabi 1978 onwards upto 10 ordinary
acres each inclusive of ones own holding, if any, provided the application for
the purpose has been made on the prescribed form on or before October 30, 1980
and the occupant is head of his family. The price of the land to be transferred
is to be charged as under:
(a)
Scheduled
Castes :
For all
types of land Rs.
200 per O.A.
(b)
Non
Scheduled Castes
(i) Chahi, Nehri Rs.2000 per O.A.
(ii) Barani, Sailab etc. Rs.1000 per O.A.
The possession is to be determined strictly on the basis of the entries appearing in the khasra girdawari. Doubtful and tampered with Khasra Girdawaris are to be ignored. Similarly, corrections of the Khasra Girdawari secured after February 26, 1980 are to be taken into consideration.
(2)
Sale
by public auction and by restricted auction :
The
following categories of land shall be sold by public auction open to all :
(a) The land retrieved by the Directory Organisation set up by the State Rehabilitation Department.
(b)
Land
which are sub urban or are potential, residential or commercial sites or are
under garden or fall within garden colonies.
(c) Small fragments of land not exceeding 2
acres surrounded by the holdings of the owners who are not members of the
Scheduled Castes; and
(d) Lands already sold in open auction but
the sale of which has been set aside by a competent authority.
The
surplus rural evacuee agricultural land, which does not fall in the categories
mentioned above, is to be disposed of by restricted auction. The price of the
intended sale is to be given atleast fifteen days before the proposed sale and
every such notice is to state the date, time and place of proposed sale, the
description of land or property to be sold, the terms and conditions of the
sale.
2. During
pre-audit of sale files being maintained by the various tehsildars
(Mahal)-cum-(Sales) , it has been noticed by the Government that serious
irregularities/omissions have been committed by them while disposing of the
surplus rural evacuee agri. Land which are detailed below :
(1)
Vacant
lands have been transferred on the basis of possession under Rabi, 1976 and Rabi
1978 policies.
(2)
Excess
area has been sold to the allot tees at the fixed rates of Rs. 1000/- and Rs.
2000/- per acre while such areas were to be sold at the current market price
upto the limit of 10-O.As. inclusive of ones own holding, if any.
(3)
Land
has been transferred on the basis of possession in the terms of the entries of
the Khasra Girdawaris corrected after the stipulated date.
(4)
Lands
have been transferred to occupants who are virtually not in possession of the
same.
(5)
Applications
received from the occupants for the transfer of the land in pursuance of the
Press Notes issued by this Department, from time to time, have been tampered
with and names of more persons have been added / included in those
applications.
(6)
Proper
publicity is not being made before conducting the auctions. In some cases, the
area which was not mentioned in the notice of procalamation, has been included
in the area sold subsequently. Besides, in some cases the auctions have been
conducted before the expirty of 15 days from the date of proclamation.
(7)
Small
fragments of land not exceeding 2 acres and surrounded by the holdings of the
owners, are not members of Scheduled Castes were required to be sold in open /
public auctions, but such land has been sold in restricted auctions. Similarly,
the area of less than 2 acres, having an independent access, was required to be
sold in restricted auction, which on the contrary, has been sold in open
auction.
(8)
Some
revenue officers do not conduct auctions themselves at the spot but leave the
matter to their subordinate staff i.e. Kanungo etc. Sometimes the bid sheets
are not filled in properly with the result that where these sales become
fictitious, the Government also suffers financially and is deprived of the real
price likely to be fetched in a fair auction.
3. It
has, therefore, been desired by the Government that necessary instructifons
mayf be issued to the Tehsildar (Mahal)-cum-Sales/ Naib Tehsildar
(Mahal)-cum-(Sales) working under you to avoid the above lapses in future and
to dispose of the rural land strictly in accordance with the policy discussed
above. It may be made clear to them that any laxity in this bahelf, when
noticed in future, would be viewed very seriously.
