Divisional Commissioner to review & settle revenue matters
Shimla, July 7 (UNI) The State government has taken an important decision with the aim of simplifying and expediting the process of settlement of pending revision cases under section 17 of the Himachal Pradesh Land Revenue Act, 1954. Under this, now the powers of the Finance Commissioner (Appeal) have been handed over to the Divisional Commissioners of Shimla, Kangra and Mandi divisions. This provision will be applicable to those cases in which the Divisional Commissioners have not previously exercised the appellate jurisdiction under section 14, the spokesperson said. He recalled that in the year 2002, the power of revision under Section-17 of the Himachal Pradesh Land Revenue (Amendment) Act was limited to the Finance Commissioner (Appeal) only. Earlier these powers were with the Collector and Divisional Commissioners, however, the final orders were passed by the Finance Commissioner (Appeal) only. This system had become a repetitive process which was causing unnecessary delay in disposal of cases. He said that after the amendment of 2002, the number of cases filed before the Finance Commissioner (Appeal) increased considerably. Due to this, people from remote and inaccessible areas had to come to Shimla again and again to plead their cases, causing inconvenience and financial burden to them. The spokesperson said that keeping these matters in mind, it has been decided to give this power to the divisional commissioners so that the process can be simplified and decentralized. With this decision, the general public will be able to get justice at their own divisional level and people's time and money will be saved. He said the move would not only facilitate access to justice but would also reduce the workload on the Finance Commissioner (Appeal) and make the state's revenue system function more effectively and smoothly.
