LEGAL BASIS
In Punjab a wrong name, parentage, share, area or khasra number in the jamabandi is corrected by a fard badar under paragraph 7.29 of the Punjab Land Records Manual. Where the error arose while the current consigned jamabandi was being prepared, the Circle Revenue Officer decides it; where it runs back through earlier jamabandis, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate does. The Field Kanungo examines the entry against the parat sarkar, the misal haqiat, the register of mutations and the earlier jamabandis, and paragraph 7.29 says the parties need not be heard. A fard badar cannot carry a transfer: a sale, gift, exchange, mortgage, inheritance or family partition is a mutation under section 34 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, and paragraph 7.30 bars using a mutation to correct an entry already in a jamabandi. An entry is presumed true only until the contrary is proved (section 44), and section 45 sends a person who disputes it to a declaratory suit. In Chandigarh a sector property has no jamabandi: the Estate Officer's allotment file is the record, and a mistake in it is corrected by an application to the Estate Office.
