CIRCULAR
Sub :- Gomal and other Government lands vested in the Local Bodies – Unauthorised occupation and disposal – instructions reg –

It has come to the notice of the Government that Gomal and other Government lands vested in the Local Bodies, specially the village Panchayats, are being granted to individuals, often with the connivance of the Local Revenue Officers. It has also come to the notice of the Government that unauthorised occupation of lands by the well-to-do agriculturists are also being regularised by local revenue officers. Such action is contrary to the rules (the Karnataka Panchayats ( Acquisition and Transfer of Moveable and Immovable Property ) Rules 1960 and the corresponding rules applicable to Taluk Boards ) and a branch of the policy enunciated by the Government from time to time.

It is, therefore, impressed upon the Divisional Commissioners of the Divisions and the Deputy Commissioners of the Districts to warn all revenue staff under them against such unauthorised disposal of lands by Village Panchayats and Local bodies.

The Deputy Commissioners of the Districts are hereby requested to keep a strict watch over the grants, transfers and regularisation of lands vesting in the Local Bodies, to prevent such illegal grants or regularisation, more particularly those in favour of the affluent sections of society.
