prescribed business statements are in the forms annexed I to V, and should be
submitted by the Deputy Commissioner or Settlement Officer for each quarter of
the years which begins from October 1st. Statement V will only be submitted when a special revision of
records or general re-assessment is in progress, and statements I, II and III
need not be submitted for the quarter ending 30th September.
2. Explanatory remarks,
etc. - The
quarterly returns should in every case be accompanied by a brief letter written
upon half-margin, containing such additional explanations and details as may be
necessary to enable the officer or officers to whom they are forwarded to
appreciate fairly the work of the quarter under report. The work shown in the statements for the
whole year will be noticed in the annual report.
3. Procedure in districts
not under settlement is regard to statements I to IV and in districts under
settlement in regard to statements I to III - When a district is not under settlement, the
Deputy Commissioner will submit statements I to IV to the Commissioner. The fair copy of statement IV will be
accompanied by the office copy. The
Commissioner, after recording his remarks on both copies will forward statement
IV to the Director of Land Records. The
Director of Land Records, after recording his remarks, will retain the fair
copy in his own office for record and will return the office copy through the
Commissioner to the Deputy Commissioner. With the statement for each quarter
the Deputy Commissioner will send to the Commissioner, for perusal and return,
the office copy of statement IV for the previous quarter.
In
the case of districts under settlement, the Deputy Commissioner will submit only
statements I to III to the Commissioner of the division. Only the fair copy of statements I to III
should be submitted to the Commissioner, who will send to the Deputy
Commissioner a copy of his remarks on the statements.
4. Procedure in districts
under settlement as regards statements IV and V - When a district is under settlement the
Settlement Officer will submit statements I to V to the Commissioner. The fair and office copies of statements IV
and V will be sent. The Commissioner
will send a copy of his remarks on statements I to III to the Settlement
Officer. After recording his remarks,
the Commissioner will send both copies of statements IV and V to the Director
of Land Records. The Director of Land
Records, after recording his remarks will send both copies to the Financial
Commissioner. The Financial
Commissioner will record his remarks on both copies, and the fair copy will be
retained for record in the Financial Commissioners’ office and the office copy
will be returned through the Director of Land Records and the Commissioner to
the Settlement Officer. In sending up
statements IV and V for each quarter the Settlement Officer will forward to the
Commissioner and Director of Land Records, for perusal and return, the office
copy of statements IV and V for the previous quarter.
5. Miscellaneous business which does
not fall under any of the descriptive headings in statement II must not be
entered in the quarterly returns.
Partition and Revenue Court cases, on which further action is deferred
pending decision of suits filed in the Civil Courts should, for the purposes of
these returns, be reckoned as decided.
The files of cases in which further action is thus deferred should not
be left in charge of the departmental clerks but should be sent to the Record
Office. When, by the termination of
proceedings in the Civil Court, either of the parties to a revenue case of the
nature above referred to desires to revive proceedings, the file will, on application
being made, be restored to the register of pending cases, and be reckoned in
these returns as a new institution.
