SANGUEM: The Adivasi Sangatna Kepem submitted a memorandum to Deputy Chief Minister Chandrakant Kavlekar demanding certain amendment to the Agricultural Tenancy Act 1964, Mundkarial Act 1975 and to do away with the NOC under Section 49(6) under Town and Country Planning Act for Mundkar, who want to purchase the mundkarial area out rightly.
As per the present procedure followed by the Revenue Court, once a tenant/mundkar is declared as tenant/mundkar, he has to file a separate purchase application for the purchase of the mundkarial/tenanted area. If there are number of bhatkars/landlords, it finds very difficult for the tenant/mundkar to serve all the respondents in both declaration and purchase application and in some case it takes years together for the service itself.
In the bargain, the poor tenant/mundkar has to incur huge amount and had to waste lot of time. Therefore, the association has demanded to simplify the procedure thereby allowing the tenant/mundkars to file purchase application in the declaration application itself.
The association also demanded to do away with NOC under Section 49(6) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1974, for mundkar who are intending to purchase the area surrounding their mundkarial house from the bhatkar, out rightly without going for mundkar declaration.
