GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM 1900 FOR THE SPEEDY DISPOSAL OF DARKHASTS.

(1) Large pendency of darkhasts for land at the close of every year not only causes loss of revenue to Government, but also retards extension of the arable area. Darkhasts should, therefore, receive prompt attention. (G.O. No. R. 11926-75—L.R. 185-18-6, dated 19th March 1919).

(2) As soon as the application for a portion of an unassessed survey number, including gomal survey num¬bers, for which previous sanction has been obtained, is decided by the Deputy Commissioner to be granted, the portion concerned should, on the authority of the Deputy Commissioner, be at once measured and marked off on the field, through the agency of Revenue Inspectors or other taluk officials under the general supervision, if neces¬sary, of the District Surveyor. The assessment should be fixed by the Deputy Commissioner on the basis of survey rates prevailing in neighbouring lands of similar description. The results should be embodied in Form A, Appendix IX, to this Manual. (G.O. No. R. 7486.94—L.R. 294-04-2, dated 18th December 1904).

(3) Applications for portions of assessed survey numbers should be dealt with in precisely the same manner as laid down above, with the exception that, in taluks in which re-survey operations have been completed or are in progress, the sanction of the Superintendent of Land Records must be previously obtained and the rates should be those shown in the akarband for the entire survey numbers. The result under this para should also be entered in the form above referred to.
Note 1.—Sub-Division of assessed survey numbers should be discouraged by encouraging the taking up of the entire survey numbers by two or more persons between them. In such cases, the share of each can be separately recognised and registered in the said form.

2. The above instructions apply to survey numbers of unwieldy size of about double minimum prescribed.

(4) Darkhasts, whether under para (2) or (3) supra, shall be subject to the minima laid down Appendix H, L.R.R., provided that the portion left after in sub-division is riot less than the pi-escribed minima. Their grant will be subject to the final adjustment of boundary lines and assessment by the department of Land Records under clause (a) Rule 30 L.R.R., (for powers of several officers to constitute into separate Survey Numbers of extents falling below the prescribed minima, vide para. . . .in Chapter IX).

(5) Form A referred to above, is designated and maintained as a supplement to the Index of lands (village Form No. I) for each village concerned and can easily be embodied in the remaining village forms.

(6) These directions do not apply to the darkhasts for lands for coffee cultivation.

(7) The form should be filled up retrospectively to include all darkhasts in which cultivation permits have been granted, but which have not as yet been given effect to in the akarband. Upon a part survey number being measured and demarcated by the Department of Land Records and brought on to the akarband, it should be struck off the form, an entry to that effect being made in the column of remarks, quoting authority.

(8) No alteration or amplifications whatever should be made on the village map, except by the Depart¬ment of Land Records. For illustrating the sub-divisions provisionally effected, extracts of the survey numbers should be taken by tracing them on thin paper and pasting this on thick paper, the sub-divisions being indicated on the extracts with red ink. (G.O. No. R. 3829.68—L.R, 89-16-i, dated llth October 1917 ; R. 12540—L.R. 384-19.5, dated 30th April 1920).

(9) Unassessed lands and lands specially reserved or assigned for any public, communal or municipal pur¬pose under section 39 L.R.C., e.g., gomal, date reserve, village forest, State Forest, etc.
(a) Lands in the vicinity of railway stations with¬in, the limits prescribed by rule 52. (M Lands containing valuable fruit or trees or wells or buildings.
other

(10) Necessary entries are made in the Index of lands (formerly Khetewar Patrike) at the time of survey settlement, in the case of almost all lands falling under classes (a) and -(b). If this has not been done, the omission should be made good at once by reference to Faisal Patrika, and the village map. As regards the other classes of lands, the Amildar should cause the entries to be made from time to time, as the cases come to his notice, during the cource of inspection, or as orders are received from higher officers.
(11) In order to determine whether a particular darkhast should be dealt with according to the general rule of free grant, or otherwise, reference should be made to the Index of lands, and if that document does not furnish the necessary data, the darkhast should be for¬warded to the Village Officers for furnishing a memoran¬dum in the prescribed printed forms (Appendix D.L.R.R.) not later than a week from the receipt of the requisition.

(12) Applicants should present their darkhasts in the first instance to the Revenue Inspector who will transmit them within a week to the Amildar for orders with the prescribed memorandum. Darkhasts for unassessed lands for which there is a keen demand should not be rejected merely on the ground that assessed lands are available, but should be considered and disposed of on their merits. (G.O. No. R. 7310-7364—L.R. 411-24-1, dated, Camp Mysore, 8th June 1925). The revised form of particulars to be furnished in dealing with the darkhast applications is prescribed in Revenue Secretary's letter No. R1.-15971, dated 8th January 1955.
