Andhra pradesh Dotted Lands Regularization act 2017

Dear Client,
Under the Andhra Pradesh Dotted Lands/Assigned Lands regularisation framework, long-standing possession, continuous cultivation, revenue entries, and issuance of Pattadar Passbook/Notional Khata are relevant factors that may be considered by the revenue authorities while examining a request for regularisation or rectification of records.

From the facts stated by you:

1. You claim continuous and undisputed possession and cultivation for more than 30 years;
2.The land was purchased through Sadabainama/sale agreement transactions;
3. You are holding a Pattadar Passbook with Notional Khata; and
4. You have already approached the Tahsildar/MRO seeking rectification and regularisation,

you may pursue your application before the competent revenue authorities for correction/removal of the dotted entry and mutation of records in your favour, subject to verification of eligibility under the applicable Government Orders and provisions governing dotted lands in Andhra Pradesh.

However, the authorities are also likely to examine:

1. The nature and validity of the original assignment;
2. Whether any prohibition on transfer applied to the assigned land;
3. The discrepancy regarding the assignment year and the alleged prior transfer;
4. Entries in RSR, Adangal, 1-B Register, FMB and other revenue records;
5. Proof of continuous possession and cultivation.

You may submit and rely upon:

1. sale agreements;
2. Pattadar Passbook and Notional Khata;
3. Land revenue receipts and cultivation records;
4. Electricity bills/water records, if any;
5. Encumbrance Certificate;
6. Affidavits or local evidence showing long possession.

Since the RSR reportedly contains dotted remarks in Column No.16, obtaining certified copies of the RSR and connected revenue records would be important for proper adjudication of your claim.

If the Tahsildar/MRO does not take action or rejects your request without proper reasons, you may avail appropriate remedy before the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), Joint Collector, or other competent authority/forum, in accordance with law.
