Sale and purchase of property in unauthorised colonies yet to be registered
The registration of sale and purchase of property in unauthorised colonies could not start, despite the government order, as the revenue department has failed to open the registry. The order issued by the secretary, Delhi urban development department, RK Srivastav, dated 12 March permits registration of sale deed in transfer of properties on private land in unauthorized colonies.
The emergence of the tussle between the Delhi urban development department and the department of revenue has become a bone of contention for registration of properties. Earlier Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna had given his nod to the sale and purchase of properties in 312 unauthorised colonies, located on private lands in the national capital. The revenue department had sent a proposal to the lieutenant-governor seeking permission for allowing sale and purchase on the basis of khasra number in colonies on private land, but not on the basis of plots. The revenue department's proposal had made it clear that the government will have to clear its stand on the notices issued under sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Acts.'
A few months ago, Delhi urban development department had issued a circular to all deputy commissioners, asking them for re-verification of the land status of unauthorised colonies and to rectify the discrepancies/deficiencies regarding ownership of land. Now the government's urban development department has called a meeting with tehsildars and sub-division magistrates regarding deficiencies in land status report.
There are a large number of colonies that are on private lands, where compensation was given by the government, but farmers or original allottees did not get the money. The government will have to denotify these lands.
