Land Mutation & Parimarjan Plus System: Rectifying Jamabandi Records in Bihar
“How to legally challenge illegal rejection of दाखिल-खारिज (Mutation) and file revenue appeal before the DCLR and District Collector Gaya.”
The Modern Revenue Framework in Bihar
With the digitisation of Bihar Bhumi records, online filing of mutation (दाखिल-खारिज) and corrections through the Parimarjan portal have become mandatory. However, procedural disputes, erroneous entry rejections by Circle Officers (CO), and conflicting Jamabandi numbers frequently arise.
Stages of Revenue Litigation:
- Circle Officer (CO) Level: Initial mutation petition with registered Kewala and genealogical chart.
- DCLR Appeal: If an objection is wrongfully accepted or application rejected, a statutory appeal lies before the Deputy Collector Land Reforms (DCLR).
- Collector Revision: Revision before the District Magistrate / Collectorate Gaya under the Bihar Land Mutation Act.
