Stop processing ‘Sada Bainama’ pleas received after October 29 – High Court (Update on 11 November 2020)

Telangana High Court has instructed the state government to stop processing 6,74,201 applications received from people after this October 29 for regularisation of sale and purchase of lands under the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act-1971.

The government can, however, process the 2,76,693 applications received before this October 12. Passing these orders in a PIL petition, a bench of Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy said the officials concerned should inquire into the applications. The orders passed by the officials in these 2,76,693 applications would be subject to the outcome of the final verdict to be passed by the bench in the PIL plea.

Govt Order for Sale and Purchase of Lands under New Revenue Act

Telangana government issued an order (GO 112) on this October 12 facilitating registration of sale and purchase of lands under a new Revenue Act. A sexagenarian farmer from Nirmal district, Shinde Devidas, filed the PIL petition seeking to declare the GO illegal and cancel the proceedings issued by the Tahsildars (revenue officials) in compliance with that GO.

People in rural areas of the State used to sell and purchase lands without registering the same. These transactions are called ‘sada bainamas’ (which are agreements of sale and purchases made on papers) in general parlance. These ‘sada bainamas’ transactions were earlier regularised under Record of Rights (RoR) Act. The government replaced the RoR Act and brought in the new Revenue Act from October 29.

Petition Against New Revenue Act

The petitioner’s counsel Chinnola Naresh Reddy contended that the new Revenue Act passed by Telangana government did not have any provision for regularisation of “sadaa bainama” transactions. Advocate General B.S. Prasad told the bench that the government received 2,26,693 applications for regularisation of land transactions from this October 10 to 29.

After this October 29, another 6,74,201 applications were received. The AG sought a time of two weeks to file a detailed counter affidavit. However, the bench sought to know from the government as to how it can process applications under a law (RoR Act) which no longer existed.

“Processing the applications received after October 29 will open up a Pandora’s box. You cannot be permitted to process 6,74,201 applications,” the bench said. It remarked that the policy of the government had to be in compliance with the law.

Telangana to Amend Revenue Act for Sada Bainama Registrations (Update As on 13 November 2020)

To clear legal hurdles for regularisation of land sale transactions on plain papers (Sada Bainamas), the state cabinet is likely to promulgate an ordinance amending the new Revenue Act. The cabinet, which is meeting on Friday at 4 pm, is likely to approve the amendment to the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 2020.”

Apart from this, the cabinet is expected to discuss and approve minimum support price (MSP) for the super fine variety of paddy, compensation to the crops due to rain and flood damages, incorporating provisions in the law in municipalities and municipal corporations for registering non-agriculture properties through Dharani and announcement of sops and developmental works in Greater Hyderabad in view of elections to the GHMC.

Govt. Keen on Putting an Amendment to new Revenue Act

Officials said the government is keen on regularising Sada Bainamas as the CM announced it on the floor of the assembly. “In the present circumstances, the government has no option but to bring an amendment to the new Revenue Act through an ordinance,” a senior government official said. Since there has been a demand from the farmers to announce higher MSP to super fine variety of paddy, the government is likely to announce MSP. KCR recently accused the Centre of not allowing to pay more than Rs 1,880 per quintal for paddy and even showed the letter written to the state by the Food Corporation of India.

As the agriculture property registrations have already commenced through Dharani and provisions were made in the Revenue Act, the government is also thinking similar arrangement in Municipalities Act and Panchayat Raj for non-agriculture properties through Dharani to avoid legal problems.

Though cabinet approval is not mandatory for giving consent to the election schedule prepared by the State Election Commission for the GHMC polls, the cabinet is likely to discuss the election schedule and indicate the dates to the SEC. As per the pre-poll exercise, the GHMC is expected to complete all arrangements by November 21 by announcing final publication of ward-wise polling stations. The CM may also announce a development package to the city under the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP) phase II apart from sops to people ahead of Diwali.
