#revenue authority

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has mandated that revenue authorities must complete land demarcation between survey numbers within 30 days of application, as per state circulars, and cannot refuse on grounds of title disputes or possession claims. This clarifies the limited role of revenue officers in boundary disputes and protects landowners from administrative inaction, reinforcing procedural fairness in land record management.

Madras HC directs the Revenue Divisional Officer to reconsider a patta issued in the name of a deceased individual, emphasizing that administrative inaction on land record errors violates principles of natural justice. The ruling mandates a hearing for all affected parties before any cancellation or correction, ensuring procedural fairness in revenue authority decisions.
