► Hello Sir/Madam,
I need legal advice regarding a land revenue matter in Maharashtra.
Case Details:
1) A person named Vinayak Bhanage executed a registered will (No. SGN 1640/1983) and donated his land (Gat No. 61, area 9 Acre 14 Guntha, Class II – New Tenure land) and house property to “Shri Vitthal Rukmini Devasthan, Dahigaon She”.
2) As per will, 9 trustees were appointed.
3) The trust is registered with Charity Commissioner (Reg. No. A-916/1985 dated 10/09/1985), and the said land is recorded as trust property in Schedule-1.
4) Mutation Entry No. 282 was approved, and names of trustees were entered in 7/12 extract.
5) Now, all old trustees have expired, and new trustees are appointed through Charity Commissioner.
6) We have applied to remove old trustees' names and enter “Shri Vitthal Rukmini Devasthan Dahigaon She” in 7/12.
Issue:
Revenue अधिकारी (Talathi / Circle Officer) are saying that since the land is Class II (New Tenure), Collector permission is required.
Our Stand:
- There is NO sale, transfer, or mortgage.
- Ownership is already of the trust (as per will + Schedule-1).
- Trustees’ names were only in representative capacity.
- This is only a Mutation Correction Entry.
Questions:
1) Is Collector permission required in this case?
2) Can this be treated as a simple correction entry under Maharashtra Land Revenue Code?
3) Any GR / Circular / Case Law supporting our case?
4) What is the best legal remedy if revenue officers are not processing the mutation?
Kindly guide.
Thank you.
