Who is responsible

  • Amin / Revenue InspectorField revenue official who measures land, records possession (pajha) and conducts spot inspection for boundary and possession disputes.
  • Revenue and Land Reforms Department, BiharOwns mutation policy, land records and Circle Officer implementation of dakhil-kharij in Bihar.

A boundary or hadd dispute between neighbours is examined by the revenue field official through measurement and an inspection report; if the parties do not agree on the result, the matter proceeds to the competent revenue court. Do not attempt to physically move a boundary marker.

Important condition: Minor differences in a khasra or map may be clerical; obtain the current survey record before starting proceedings, because an old map can mislead the claim.
