Under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the Ministry of Lands and Law will initiate innovative activities of electronic registration and e-namazari of land documents. This will reduce the complexity of buying, selling and inheriting land at all levels. The Prime Minister’s initiative was welcomed by people from all walks of life, including businessmen, AC Land, Deputy Registrar. In addition, the Minister of Justice, Anisul Haque, and the Minister of Lands, Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Jabed, were thanked for this historic government decision.
In the framework of a pilot project, in the first phase, the electronic registration and e-namazari of property titles will begin in 16 upazilas of the country. If these activities are carried out correctly in these upazilas, the government will launch this service throughout the country. Beneficiaries of the service have also asked the government to strengthen the ‘Surveying Courts’ established in different districts to resolve territorial disputes.
The cabinet approved the land ministry’s proposal at Monday’s cabinet meeting. Two important steps in land management are the registration and naming of land titles. The registration of documents is carried out in the Sub-Office of Registration under the Ministry of Law and the registration is done in the Upazila Land Office under the Ministry of Lands. As the two works are separate, neither office can know the preliminary information on the ground in advance. Clients buy land by searching the land office, the registry office, and locally. In these cases, many people have to pay a lot of fees due to false documents. The new embedded system will not have this problem. When the electronic registry is introduced, the sub-registry office will be able to know all the information of the land in question while it is documented. And once the document is ready, the AC Land Office will be able to find out quickly. As a result, one person will not be able to search the land by deceiving the other. On the other hand, Namjari’s procrastination will also disappear. Once registered, AC Land Office will update it automatically.
Land Ministry Secretary Makshudur Rahman Patwari told Kaler Kantha: “People will win if they start electronic registration. Currently, it takes 28-45 days to register, but in many cases it doesn’t. It is possible in eight days if the new proposed method is started. It will save ordinary people from suffering, and it will also reduce time and financial costs.
Sohail Rana Titu, Vice President of the Bangladesh Real Estate and Housing Association (REHAB) and Managing Director of BOCL, said: “The new system is very timely. If activities are carried out according to plan, the people of the country will be freed from many land-related complications.
Abdullah Al Mahfuz, AC Land of Savar Upazila in Dhaka, said: “People will get land-related services easily if the new system is introduced. You can apply from anywhere. You will know the status of your request. Currently, it is difficult to control these problems. If the new system is introduced, things can be easily monitored.
Zahid Hossain, Secretary General of the Bangladesh Registry Services Association, said: “This is a historic initiative. Electronic registration activities are very important to get the complete form of Digital Bangladesh. This government initiative was a long-standing expectation.
Demand to increase surveying courts and judges
Another tragedy of the land complex is the Land Survey Tribunal. Landlords must go to the Survey Court to rectify survey errors. The court confirmed the ownership of the actual owners by verifying and classifying the land ownership applications. Legislation was enacted to establish survey courts at the district level to reduce the complexity of agrarian cases. So far, there are courts in 42 districts. The remaining 22 districts do not have survey courts. Stakeholders demanded that survey courts be formed in all districts as soon as possible. They also demanded to reduce the complexity of the cases by appointing more than one court and more judges in areas where land-related work is the most.
Supreme Court attorney Humayun Kabir told Kaler Kanth: “There is a crisis of surveying courts and judges across the country. There are not courts in every district. As a result, from a farmer in the field to a high level, people suffer extreme suffering. To alleviate this suffering, more courts need to be quickly formed and judges appointed. At the same time, the verdict of the Superior Court must apply.
