ALLOTMENT
OF EVACUEE HOUSES AND SITES
Fresh allotment of houses.
The shortage of evacuee houses in villages presents a formidable problem, which is not likely to be solved for a long period. Reference has been made earlier to the destruction since partition of a substantial proportion of houses belonging to evacuees. In the allotment of available evacuee houses the guiding principle has been to give houses belonging to evacuee landowners to displaced landholders to whom land has been allotted, houses of evacuee kamins to displaced kamins and artisans and houses and shops of evacuee shop-keepers to displaced shop-keepers who settled in villages. If there are surplus houses in any village—a rare situation—allottees from neighbouring villages can be given houses. The fortuitous circumstances affecting the occupation of village houses during the phase of temporary settlement have been disregarded and the endeavour has been to allot houses afresh.
2. It was hoped at first that panchayats representing allottees as well as the landless settling in villages might assist in the allotment of houses. For various reasons this hope has not been fulfilled and allotment has had to be entrusted to revenue officials. Actual settlement in villages has been affected adversely by the prevailing shortage.
Rules
of allotment of evacuee houses.
3. Elaborate instructions were drawn up with the object of ensuring equitable distribution of houses. The observance of these instructions in practice has been far from easy. To ensure fairness in the distribution of houses among the allottees, it was proposed, for instance, that the size of the land allotment made to a person and the type of house abandoned by him in Western Pakistan should be the major factors to be considered. For each standard acre of land one mark was to be allowed and, subject to a maximum of 20 marks, houses abandoned in Western Pakistan were to be valued at the rate of one mark for each 1000 of the value of the house. Houses above the value of Rs. 20,000 were excluded from allotment, as they were to be dealt with according to the terms of an earlier agreement between India and Pakistan. In each village after their relative rights had been valued, allottees could pick houses according to their place in the village list. To obviate fictitious statement about the value of houses abandoned in Western Pakistan, allottees were required to file affidavits. These instructions were issued at the end of July, 1950 and did not apply to allotments of houses made prior to this date by village panchayats.
4. A person to whom land has been allotted in more than one village is ordinarily entitled to receive residential accommodation in the village in which the greater portion of his allotment is situated. Substantial houses situated outside the limits of the village abadi were also included in the pool of houses for allotment, preference being given to those allottees in whose land such houses happened to be situated. Persons to whom land had been allotted in uninhabited villages could receive houses in villages in which the evacuee owners whose land had been allotted to them used to reside. Where colonists had ancestral houses in their villages of allotment or reasonably near them, preference in the distribution of evacuee houses was to be given to non-colonists. Similar rules were extended to the allotment of evacuee houses to displaced persons to whom land had been given in the garden colonies.
5. In villages in which there were no houses available at all, sites were to be allotted to displaced persons, the standard size being one or two kanals according to the area of the abadi site. It was proposed to provide one site to allottees of 10 standard acres or less, two sites to allottees upto 20 standard acres, three to those holding upto 30 standard acres and four to those holding more than 30 standard acres. Subject to finance being available, it was also intended to make a grant of Rs. 200 in the shape of building material to allottees holding five standard acres or less and to advance loans of Vs. 500 to persons holding more than five standard acres.
If surplus residential accommodation were available after meeting the requirements of allottees, tenants, kamins and other displaced persons entitled to allotment of houses and sites, serving soldiers who owned no land in Western Pakistan but owned houses in rural areas, were to be given preference in the allotment of houses and sites.
6. A scheme of model villages was drawn up. Under this scheme officials of the Public Works Department were required to demarcate sites in villages according to certain type-plans, which had been prepared. These type plans provided for suitable roads and paths, central communal open spaces, sites for community buildings, manure pits, etc.
7. Reviews from the orders of Revenue Officers in respect of allotment of evacuee houses in rural areas lie to the following officers according to the value of the houses :—
Value of houses. Officers
to whom review will lie
1. Houses of the value of Revenue Assistant, Rehabilitation, of the district
Rs. 10,000 or less.
2. Houses of the value of Deputy Commissioners or Additional Deputy
above Rs. 10,000 but less Commissioners of the districts.
Rs. 20.000.
An application for revision from the orders of Revenue Assistants Rehabilitation, lies to the Deputy Commissioner or Additional Deputy Commissioner of the district. Revision from the order of the Deputy Commissioner or Additional Deputy Commissioner lies to the Director-General Rehabilitation (Rural). The orders passed in revision are final.
An application for review has to bear a court-fee stamp of one rupee and has to be accompanied by a copy of the allotment order. Copies of allotment orders can be obtained from the patwari of the circle on payment of four annas per copy.
An application for revision has to carry a court-fee stamp of five rupees and has to be accompanied by a copy of the review order. Copies can be obtained on payment of the prescribed fee.
Applications for review should be made to the officers concerned before the 30th September, 1950, (or such other date as may be fixed) or within 30 days from the receipt of the order of allotment of houses, whichever is later. The period of limitation for filing a revision is 30 days from the date of the communication of the order of review.
The Financial Commissioner, Rehabilitation, may at any time either on his own motion or on an application call for the record of any case from any authority subordinate to him and pass such orders as he may think fit.
Long-term
aspects of rural housing.
8. For many years to come the shortage of houses and unsuitable living conditions in villages are likely to be one of the most unfortunate legacies of the years following the partition. To make up these deficiencies, a healthier rural economy and public investment on a substantial scale are called for. On account of inadequate resources, large gaps are likely to remain. To have large numbers of persons to whom land has been allotted living outside the villages mainly for lack of residential accommodation will hamper the restoration and growth of the rural economy. These deficiencies will have their long-term effects as well, but it is realised that the problem of rural housing cannot be left to solve itself.
