Draft Act on Land Titles

Following are the provisions proposed under the draft Act:

Setting up of State land authority: Under the proposal, each state is to set up a land authority that will have a title registration officer (TRO) who will prepare a title record based on document-based claims from the presumptive owners and any claimants.
Draft list of presumptive ownership: The authority will then publish a draft list of the presumptive ownership of every plot (on which it has received applications) and invite claims within a given deadline from anyone else with an interest in the property.
Dispute resolution: The TRO will be free to mention any number of people as owners of a particular plot if satisfied with their documents. If the official cannot come to a decision, he or she might refer the case to the land dispute resolution officer (LDRO), appointed under the land authority.
Record of titles: A “record of titles” will then be notified. Over the next 3 years, “land titling appellate tribunals”, made up of retired or serving district judges, will hear disputes arising out of the orders passed by the TRO and the LDRO.
Conclusive title: Once 3 years have passed since the notification, the title will be deemed conclusive, open to challenge only through writ petitions in the higher courts.
Plots already enmeshed in court cases will remain outside the ambit of the conclusive titling process.
