The Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms issued Ref. No. I1/1772/2016 (L.Ref.), dated 1 April 2016, directing all Special Deputy Collectors (Revenue Court) to complete and verify case data in the Revenue Courts website. The instructions require pending, disposed and newly filed cases to be entered, final orders to be uploaded, case progress to be updated daily and completion certificates to be submitted.
What the instructions cover
The Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms issued Ref. No. I1/1772/2016 (L.Ref.), dated 1 April 2016, as an administrative direction to all Special Deputy Collectors (Revenue Court). It follows an earlier office letter dated 11 March 2016 and records concern that continuous data entry had not taken place after the first few days of work on the demo site.
The document deals with computerisation and reporting of Revenue Court cases. It does not state any change to land ownership, land ceiling requirements or the rights of parties in a case.
Cases and information to be entered
The Commissioner of Land Reforms requires Special Deputy Collectors (Revenue Court) to:
- Enter and update every case pending as on 31 January 2016.
- Enter cases disposed of during February and March 2016 because they were pending on 31 January 2016.
- Enter cases filed during February and March 2016.
- Enter every field correctly from the case record.
- Update hearing outcomes on the same day, either through the Hearing Process or the pending hearing detail update facility.
- Upload each final order from a Word document or scanned image. A case is counted as disposed of only after the order is uploaded.
- Enter the details of the order in the fields provided for final order upload.
- Treat every stage from admission to the order stage as pending.
- Identify dummy entries in the demo site and report them to the Commissioner of Land Reforms and NIC for deletion.
Verification and continuing updates
Each Special Deputy Collector must form a team to check and correct entries. A signed certificate must confirm the completion and correctness of entries for cases pending on 31 January 2016 and cases received during February, March, April and up to the certification date.
New cases and progress in existing cases must be entered daily. The document explains that incomplete or incorrect fields will affect both case details and automatically generated MIS reports, including reports on disposed cases, current pendency and year-wise pendency.
