Sri Vijaya Puram, April 24: Incomplete documentation has emerged as a key hurdle in the disposal of cases at Special Revenue Camp Courts in South Andaman, prompting authorities to issue fresh instructions to applicants to produce all required records during hearings.
According to the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman, several applicants attending the ongoing camp courts have failed to submit adequate supporting documents related to their claims, particularly in cases involving correction of names in revenue records. This has led to delays in the processing and disposal of applications.
The Special Revenue Camp Courts are being conducted as per schedule on April 22, 23, and 24 from 4 PM onwards, and will continue on April 29 and 30 from 9 AM onwards. The initiative was launched to expedite the resolution of revenue-related cases, with a substantial number of applications already taken up during the proceedings.
However, officials have observed that many applicants appeared for hearings without essential documentary evidence required to validate their claims. Authorities have stated that such gaps in documentation could lead to further delays or non-disposal of cases.
The administration has now directed all applicants whose cases are pending, and who have been informed either through telephonic communication or formal notices, to attend the camp courts on scheduled dates with complete original documents.
Applicants have been advised to carry relevant records such as sale deeds, gift deeds, family-related documents, old manual land records, family member certificates, school certificates, or any other valid documentary proof supporting their claims.
Officials have emphasised that submission of proper documentation is essential for verification and timely resolution of cases, particularly those involving corrections in official revenue records.
The ongoing camp courts are part of efforts by the district administration to streamline land record corrections and reduce pendency. However, the effectiveness of the initiative depends significantly on applicants’ compliance with documentation requirements.
Authorities have reiterated that failure to produce necessary documents during hearings may result in delays or rejection of claims, impacting the overall pace of case disposal.
With multiple hearings scheduled over the coming days, the administration has urged applicants to ensure preparedness to facilitate efficient processing of their cases.
