APPENDIX V

 

NOTES ON LOCAL RIGHTS

 

The manner in which different classes of rights abandoned in Pakistan are treated for purposes of allotment in East Punjab and Pepsu and the basis of valuation of various rights in evacuee land in East Punjab and Pepsu have been explained in Chapter III. There were, however, special problems pertaining to individual districts on which specific orders were passed. The more important of these orders are summarised in this Appendix-

 

A—WEST PUNJAB

1.         Lahore district

(a) Valuation of share of occupancy tenant paying rent partly in cash and partly in kind :          

The commutation prices assumed by the Settlement Officer for calculating net assets are employed for determining the respective share of the landlord and the occupancy tenant.

 

(b) Rent of occupancy tenant at revenue rates :

Where the entry in respect of rent paid by an occupancy tenant is at "revenue rates," the share of the occupancy tenant is reckoned at 15 annas out of the rupee.

 

(c) Occupancy rights and banjar jadid :

In one case the classification of land is shown as banjar jadid hut the cash rent paid by the occupancy tenant is given as Rs. 1|8|- per rupee of land revenue. According to the scheme of valuations of occupancy and landlord rights (Chapter III, para 14), rent at this rate implies a value of 9 annas for the rights of the occupancy tenant. Since the village is almost wholly perennial, the classification of the holding as banjar jadid seems to be somewhat accidental. For valuation of the share of the occupancy tenant, therefore, the land is treated as if it was perennial.

 

2.         Sialkot district.

High cash rent for occupancy tenant:

Where the rent of an occupancy tenant is shown in the records as being eight or ten times the land revenue, going beyond the provision in the general scheme of valuations (Chapter iii, para 14), the occupancy tenant's share was valued at 4 annas and that of the land­lord at 12 annas.

 

3.         Mianwali district.

(a) A special case of rent payable by an occupancy tenant:

In one case the rent payable by an occupancy tenant is shown as being payable at revenue rates plus commuted value of one-eighth of produce. It was decided to value the share of the occupancy tenant at 11 annas in the rupee according to the scheme of valuations in Chapter iii para 14.

 

(b) Sijji mashki and waku rights:

The mashiki, being entitled to one-half of the land belonging to the sijji (owner), has been treated as occupancy tenant.   The waku's right is not of a permanent character.

 

4.         Jhang district.

A special case of occupancy rights :

In one case a Muslim occupancy tenant under a non-Muslim owner got land cultivated by a non-Muslim occupancy tenant, but gave half batai to the non-Muslim owner. The owner's right has been valued at 11 annas and that of the occupancy tenant at 5 annas.

 

5.         Dera Ghazi Khan district.

(a) Pachotri Karat:

In Dera Ghazi Khan district a pachotri karai is entitled to payment up to four times the land revenue from an inferior owner. This right resembles that of a jagirdar or a muafidar, since the pachotri Tear is not entitled to physical possession of land. The right docs not qualify for allotment.

 

(b) Lath mar or lath 'band:

The Gazetteer of D.G. Khan district treats the rights of a lath mar or lath band as being those of an occupancy tenant. No value is, therefore, set on these rights.

 

(c) Lessees of Government land in tahsil Sanghar :

Certain lessees of Government land in tahsil Sanghar pay 'and revenue and also malkana equal to the amount of land revenue. The rights of lessees have been valued at 25 per cent of the value of the holding.

 

B—EAST PUNJAB

1.         Amritsar district.

Where the cash rent payable by an occupancy tenant exceeds Rs. 2|8|- per rupee of the land revenue, which is the highest rate in the scheme stated in Chapter III, para 14, the right of the landlord is valued at 12 annas and that of the occupancy tenant at 4 annas.

 

2.         Gurdaspur district.

The ancestral shares of co-sharers have been valued, where certain area was washed away by river action, became ShamiIat and was again reclaimed.

 

3.         Jullundur district.

Where, in a mixed village containing both evacuee and non-evacuee land, the share of the evacuees in shamilat is greater than the area held by evacuee occupancy tenants, the entire area in the latter category may be reckoned to be under rights of ownership for allotment.  In other cases the difference in value between the rights of occupancy in shamilat which are capable of allotment, and the evacuees' rights of ownership should at present be reckoned as not being available for allotment in the scheme of quasi-permanent allotment, but is to be regarded as capable of being temporarily leased by the Custodian.

 

Saunjidars:

The rights held by a saunjidar are not regarded as being allotable in the scheme of quasi-permanent resettlement. A sounji is a petty village grant which may assume various forms, such as, assignment of revenue-free land, lease to the grantee at a favourable rent, payment of rent at revenue rates, or other special concessions. The right vests in a person performing certain specific services under certain circum­stances and commonly exists in village menials, watchmen and at religious places.

 

4.         Ludhiana district.

Taradad kar :

A taradad kar who does not cultivate land at the will of owner and is entered either in the column of ownership or of cultivators in the jamabandi is classified for the purpose of valuation as an occupancy tenant under section 8 of the Punjab Tenancy Act.

 

5.         Ferozepore district.

Perpetual lease with cash rent :

Where in a perpetual lease the cash rent exceeds Rs. 2|8|- per rupee of the land revenue, the value of the lessee's rights is taken at 4 annas and that of the landlord at 12 annas.

 

6.         Karnal district.

Where evacuees are shown as occupancy tenant of shamilat in a mixed village containing both evacuee and non-evacuee land, land paying no rent to the evacuee occupancy tenant is treated as being available for allotment.

 

7.         Gurgaon district. Bhonda and dholi:

Petty grants given frequently in connection with religious services are known as bhond or dholi. The dholi is commonly paid for secular services, such as, those of village watchman or messenger bhond and dholi rights are not considered as being available for allotment.

 

A bhondadar can be ejected on failure to fulfil the conditions of his tenure-   The rights of bhonda and dholi do not qualify for allotment

 

C—PATIALA AND EAST PUNJAB STATES UNION

Evacuee land under occupancy rights, where rent is paid in kind, is valued at 12 annas for the occupancy tenant and at 4 annas for the rest

 

D—GENERAL

1.         In some jamabandis a non-Muslim occupancy tenant holding under an evacuee owner is shown as ghair qabiz. This entry may some­times be due to the fact that the occupancy tenant has not been in possession for a great many years or because the occupany tenant has had to migrate.   In view of the fact that these occupancy tenants have filed claims, their rights have been valued without considering the words, "ghair qabiz."

 

2.         "Apran jauhar" :

This expression means the catchment area of the village pond which is usually a part of the village shamilat and is, therefore, excluded from allotment

 


APPENDIX VI

 

SCHEME OF GRADED CUTS

 

The scheme of graded cuts is as follows :—

 

Upto 10 acres                                                                                                  25%

More than 10 acres but not more than 30 acres                                     30%

More than 30 acres but not more than 40 acres                                     40%

More than 40 acres but not more than 60 acres                                                 50%

More than 60 acres but not more than 100 acres                                               65%

More than 100 acres but not more than 150 acres                                             70%

More than 150 acres but not more than 200 acres                                             15%

More than 200 acres but not more than 250 acres                                             90%

More than 250 acres but not more than 500 acres                                             85%

More than 500 but not more than 1000 acres                                                    90%

More than 1000 acres                                                                                      95%

 

2. The calculation is throughout in standard acres. One standard acre makes 16 units or annas. Thus. 25-4 means 25 standard acres and 4 units or annas; 28-131 means 28 standard acres and 1311/2 units or annas.  Calculations have been made to the nearest one-fourth of a unit or anna, that is, to the nearest one sixty-fourth of a standard

acre.

 

3. The ready reckoner is divided into two parts. In the first part the net allotment for whole standard acres is shown. In the second part the value of units or annas from 1 to 16 is shown upto one-fourth of a unit or anna separately for each slab in the scheme of graded cuts. Thus, if the net allotment for 69-10 has to be ascertained, we have first 40-101/2 net against 69 standard acres and then 0-3 % net against -|10|- from the second part in the column indicating the slab "more than 60 acres but not more than 100 standard acres."   The total net allotment will be 40-14 i.e. 40 standard acres and 14 units or annas.  In the first part the net allotment against whole standard acres upto 5,000 has been worked out and in the second part the net allotment for annas from 1 to 16 for different slabs in the scheme of graded cuts has been calculated.

APPENDIX VII

 

GRADING OF VILLAGES

 

This Appendix is divided into three parts :

Part A—Grading of colonists ;

Part B—Grading of villages in West Punjab for non-colonists; and

Part C—Grading of villages in East Punjab and Pepsu

 

PART A—GRADING OF COLONISTS

In the districts of the Jullundur Division and in the Rupar and Kharar tahsils of Ambala district, the displaced persons to be settled are for the greater part colonists who held land in different colony areas in West Punjab and outside West Punjab and are due for settlement as a rule in their home districts. Since colonists have abandoned land In a number of districts and the majority of them abandoned relatively good lands, it is necessary to draw fairly fine distinctions between them, so that, wherever colonists compete for settlement, their relative claims for good lands can be compared and adjudged. In the scheme of grading of colonists given below a common basis for comparison has been evolved. The broad criterion adopted (to which there are some minor exceptions) was that land carrying a value of 15 1/2 annas and above was placed in grade I, land valued at 13 annas or more but at less than 15 1/2 annas in grade II, land valued at 10 1/2 annas and above but at less than 13 annas in grade III, and land carrying a value of less than 10 1/2 annas in grade IV. Perennial irrigated land which, In terms of value, fell in grade III. was by a special order classified as grade II A.
