What is the time limit required for filing the claim petitions before the Settlement Officer for grant of ryotwari patta?
Ans: Claim petitions can be filed before the Settlement Officer after notified date (taking over of the Estate) of the estate but before the ryotwari settlement is effected under Sec.22 of the Act. If the ryotwari settlement has already been effected in the village, claims can be filed within 30 days from the date of issuance of ryowari patta Rules, 1974 in G.O.Ms.no.50, Revenue (J) Dept., dt.16-1-1974.
