obtained by a son under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, would constitute his own separate

properties that formerly were regarded as ancestral properties from contention.

Most of the people who reside in urban areas have been updated from their father or grand father

about the existence of their ancestral land. A very common story is:

My father was an Inamdar - Vatandar- Revenue Officer (i.e.an elite of his time)
Timepass (22) We once owned a land in a village. Our land was very fertile but unfortunately it was acquired by
the Government for construction of dam and factory and our other land went into the hands of
Travel (28) tenants ((Marathi-Kul) after the introduction of tenancy act. Only thing that was left with us was a
barren land.

After this incident I left the village and settled in this city. On my fathers death, what so ever land
Sponsored was left, it was grabbed by local people and the rest of it was sold (illegally) by our relatives.

I was always willing to go to our village but I could not do so."

Most often you are enthused to see your village but you do not do so.
One fine day you decide to purchase an agricultural land for developing out station property and

Kurla West transaction from the various sources available to you. And one such source is land revenue
department.

Often the revenue officer tells you that ,No sale, gifts, exchange or lease of any land shall be valid
in favour of person who is not an agriculturist under Section 63 of Bombay Tenancy and
Agricultural Lands Act, 1948

And after seeing your frowned face, he sympathetically adds Just check if there is any ancestral
land at your native place

He shows you a way of transferring the land in your name and this gesture gives birth to a lot of
questions in your mind but then you decide to never disclose them before this unknown officer.

In any case, if you do ask him about it, he is most likely to respond you by saying
Next time bring sat-bara (Village Form VII-XII) of your native place, I will help you out.

You are quite aware that if there is any land in your native place, it is in the nature of either a barren
or a fertile land and quite obviously there is no one out there cultivating it.

Does that mean it is an agricultural land? And if answer is yes, but if no family member is
cultivating it so how can I be farmer?

All lands are basically agricultural land unless the Government classifies it as a non agricultural
land. So your grass land or rocky barren land is an agricultural land. Agriculturist means a person
who cultivates the land personally and agriculture includes the raising of grass. Accordingly the
person who holds the land is agriculturist. Land is transferable heritable immovable property and so

 family member of an agriculturist is also an agriculturist. You are also farmer even if you are not
showing physical presence on your grandfathers land.

One of the objectives of land revenue administration is to recover the revenue, thus it is obvious
that failure to pay arrears of land revenue makes the holding liable to forfeiture. On forfeiture the
occupancy ceases to be property of the occupant under section 72 of MLR Code 1966. The
forfeited land shall not change hands by way of inheritance. You know that none of your family
member has paid any taxes for 40-50 years to the Government. So question before you is whether
the land is forfeited by Government? It is duty of Talathi to recover land revenue from you. In case if
Talathi could not recover revenue from you he has to follow a lengthy procedure to forfeit the land.
Instead of going for lengthy procedure he is paying land revenue on your behalf from his own
pocket or collecting it from the person who holds interest in your land.

Now question before you is, How to search land?

Ancestral land might have spread in number of villages. You have to try to collect names of the all
villages. If the land records of your village are available since 1920, you have to search land record
from that date. So you should find names of your ancestral during that time. You should find out
names of your grand father and your forefathers and if possible names of their brothers and sisters.
Things will be easy for you, if you could procure old land records from your old generation. After
gathering the above information you have to follow the steps as mentioned below.

Step 1

This is very easy step. Just log on to http://164.100.111.5:8080/mahabhulekh/ click Query -

Select - District -Taluka Village. Now find names of your ancestral. If you could find them, you are
very lucky. If their names are not on this website do not get upset because this website need not
necessarily provide you the history of your land.

Step 2
Visit the Tahasildar office. Apply for computer record of Village form 8-A. If they provide you your
ancestral village form 8-A, you should be in a position to find out total holding of your ancestral. If
you do not get details from the Tahasildar office follow step 3.
Step 3
Talathi is delivers all old Village Form VII-XII, VI and VIII-A for preservation in the Tahasildars
office. Under the provision of section 327 of MLR Code you can inspect the above mentioned
village forms. As you do not know the survey numbers of the land, you have to apply for inspection
of all old records available in Tahasildars office. You are definitely going to get details of your
ancestral property.
Step 4
Now you will have to find out the history of lands. With the help of Village form VI you will get details
of all orders passed by revenue officers. It is binding on revenue department to supply you all the
documents. After reading history of your land over and over again with the help of this website you
will be able to find out exact status of your land. You may require consulting with the advocate. I am
sure your efforts will not go in vain.
Step 5
You acquire right over ancestral land by inheritance. After tracing out your ancestral land to make
necessary changes in Record of Rights (Village Form VII-XII) you have to intimate Talathi under
section 149 of the act. Talathi has to prepare Heir-Ship Cases Register under village form VI C as
per Maharashtra Land Revenue Record of Rights and Register(Preparation and Maintaince) Rules
1971.
During my career I have traced out and restored hundreds of acres of land of my family and of my
clients. Restoration of your rights over land in case of land grabbing is also possible. You are also
in a position to sell the land which is under dispute. You can seek help from me any time in this
regard.
