The Uttar Pradesh government has settled as many as 1,23,733 pending inheritance related cases in the state under the Varasat campaign since May 30 this year.

The Yogi Adityanath government launched Varasat campaign with the aim to end land and revenue disputes as well as cases of illegal occupation of land by land mafia.

The campaign, which will continue till July 31, seeks to settle inheritance related cases that have been pending with the Revenue department for several years, by getting the names of the legal inheritors of properties registered in khataunis (land records) to end disputes once and for all.

As per the directions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a special Varasat campaign is being run by the Revenue Board in all the gram sabhas of the state. It may be mentioned here that most of the cases related to land disputes are heard on Tehsil Day in every district of the state. The police data also include a large number of land dispute cases. Therefore, the campaign also aims at curbing land conflicts and controlling highhanded behaviour of tehsil employees.

The Yogi government has also set the target of 100 per cent disposal of the pending cases of undisputed inheritance in the state during the campaign along with getting the names of the legal heirs registered in khatauni.

A total of 1,33,516 applications have been received so far during the campaign out of which more than 1,23,733 cases have been disposed of.

The Varasat campaign is proving to be a great initiative for legal successors of properties in getting physical rights in time, reducing unnecessary revenue disputes and illegal occupation of land by land mafia and anti-social elements. It helps in maintaining law and order related to terrestrial rights.
