Reserve forest land encroachment - dispute in records between 2 departments ( revenue & forest)

Rama Krishna (Querist) 03 July 2015 This query is : Resolved
Respected Sir,

Initially i had filed a RTI application to DFO, Forest Dept seeking for details of reserve forest in my village.

DFO, Forest Dept has furnished the details of reserve forest and provided the Gezette Notificaton as well. details are below.

Sy.No - 117 , Extent :- 94.82.

further, i had filed a RTI application to Tahsildhar to furnish the details of the above SY.No -117

Here, Tahsildar has provided the details and in ROR it is mentioned as "RallaGutta & Paramboku" means govt land.also there is no gazette notification provided for convertion of forest land .

further, when we see in depth the tahsildhar ahs granted pattadar pass books with an extent of 10 acres ot an inidvidual in the same Sy.No. which is against the land reforms act 1973.

finally it is clear that violation occur and it is against the rules of reserve forest act. as per the rule reserve forest lands do not disturb.

Kindly suggested to handle the above case and to submit a representation to forest and revenue depts for necessary action

In the given case, you first obtain the relevant documents which do reflect the mentioned land as reserve land for forest and further changes brought therein in the revenue record being maintained by Tehsildar and only thereafter you shall be in a better position to chalk out strategy to move ahead.
