Dt. 16-2-08 are applicable to all the unauthorized encroachments in the entire state, and not confined to any particular area of the State. A.P. INAMS (A&C INTO R) ACT, 1956 The Act provides to abolish the inam tenure of lands and convert them into ryotwari lands. It applies to pre-settlement inam lands, both major and minor inams where a grant in inam has been made, confirmed or recognised by Government, not being an Estate. It also applies to post settlement minor inams coming under the purview of Sec.17(1) (b) of the E.A. Act.48. The preliminary enquiry u/s 3 empowers the M.R.O either suomotu or on application to determine (1) whether a particular land is an inam land (ii) whether such inam land is in a ryotwari, zamindari or inam village and (iii) whether such inam land is held by an institution. 42 An appeal against the decision u/s 3 (1) on the above three aspects shall lie to the R.D.O within sixty days. After becoming final, such decision in Form-II shall be published in the District Gazette. The enquiry for granting ryotwari pattas is then taken up u/s 7 after giving a notice in Form-V to all persons or institutions interested. In granting ryotwari pattas, the provisions of Sec. 4 shall be followed (ie) in the case of an inam land in a ryotwari or zamindari village, the person or institution holding such land as inamdar shall be entitled to a ryotwari patta. In the case of an inam land in an inam village, if the land is held by an institution, it shall be entitled to a ryotwari patta. If such land is held by an Inamdar on the date of commencement of the Act, he shall be entitled to a ryotwari patta for 1/3rd share of land and the Tenant declared to be in occupation of the land on 7-1-48 shall be entitled to a ryotwari patta for the 2/3rd share of the land. If there is no such declared Tenant the inamdar shall be entitled to a ryotwari patta for the entire land.

In case of the above nature, the proper remedial course would be to effect change in classification of lands from Poramboke to patta or vice versa. Under B.S.O. 34-D, Revenue Officers not below the rank of Tahsildar/M.R.O. are empowered to effect such changes provided the wrong classification was a direct result of resurvey [i.e.] change from simple triangular system to D&O System or supplemental Survey. Before effecting such changes, a show cause notice shall be issued to every pattadar giving a period of atleast 30 days for filing objections. Against the orders of the Tahsildar/M.R.O., an appeal shall lie to the Revenue Divisional Officer within 30 days. A second appeal shall also lie to the District Collector against the orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer within 30 days. The orders of the Dist Collector shall be final. Important: In respect of cases of change in classification of lands other than those attracted by B.S.O. 34-D, the Dist. Collector only is competent to pass necessary orders. 1) RECORD OF RIGHTS History : For Telangana Area, there was Regulation called “The AP (Telangana Area) Record of Rights in Land Regulation, 1358 Falsi”. For preparation and maintenance of a record of Rights in the Telangana Area of the State. There was no such corresponding enactment, providing for such statutory record of rights applicable to Andhra Area of the State. Therefore, on the recom mendations of the Revenue Consultative Committee, a fresh legislation called “The AP Rights in Land and PPBS Act, 1971 was enacted, applicable through out the State. The Act was amended by Act 11 of 1980, introducing certain provisions for the benefit of the credit agencies including Banks, but there was no improvement in the maintenance and updating of the ROR or Pass Books. The Act was further amended by Act 1 of 1989, to further strengthen the machinery under the Act for proper and better maintenance of the ROR and Pass Books and to give more authenticity to the Pass Books. This amended Act also received the assent of the President of India and came into force on 09.06.1989. 48 It was further amended, by Act, 9 of 1994. The salient features of this amendment are : i) To facilitate issue of Title Deed to the Pattadar- Owners to enable them to use the same for creation of equitable mortgage on their lands. ii) To protect the Credit Agencies by specifying that any charge not entered in the Pass Book, will not have priority. To provide that the Title Deed issued u/s 6-A shall be the Title Deed in respect of the Owner-Pattadar and it shall be the Record of Right and interest in the land of the person to whom the PPB is issued. To confer the Revision powers on the District Collector against the orders by any authority under the Act. To make pattadar responsible for getting necessary entries made in respect of transactions by the Registering Officer. The AP Rights in Land and PPBs Rules, 1989 were framed, in super session of the Rules framed in 1978. iii) iv) v) vi) 2) Preparation of ROR : i) Record Of Rights in Form 1 : Accordingly, the Record of Rights in Form 1 was prepared by the Recording Authorities, after conduct of enquiries under Rules 6, 7 and 8.
