Lucknow, Oct 12 : Following the six Deoria murders over a property dispute on October 2, the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Department has directed Divisional Commissioners and District Magistrates to dispose of pending land dispute cases on priority basis. A 60-day special drive will be launched in all districts wherein all revenue related matters and land dispute cases will be settled, said officials. District administration officers had been directed to dispose of cases related to boundary of land within three months, those related to possession of land by succession within 45 days and cases related to division of land holding within six months, said a Revenue Department spokesman. The state government went into action mode after the killing of six people in a group clash over a land dispute in Fatehpur village in Deoria on October 2. Earlier, three members of a family were allegedly killed over a land dispute in the Mohiuddinpur village area of Kaushambhi on September 14. The state government had already suspended 21 officers of revenue and police department on charges of negligence in duty and corruption. Taking cognizance of both the cases, the state government directed district administration officers to dispose of pending land dispute cases. During the review of the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS), it was found that the progress of various cases and their disposal was not uploaded regularly and there was a need for reform in the system. Irregularities were detected in the measurement of land as well, the officer said. Divisional Commissioners and District Magistrates were asked to collect details of pending revenue cases/land dispute cases in various courts. 'They should prepare a work plan and launch a special drive for the disposal of cases on schedule,' the officer added. /IANS
