Unnecessary delay in 90A cases in JDA

Jaipur: In the Jaipur Development Authority, unnecessary delays are being caused in the disposal of land conversion cases for agricultural land. The main reason behind this is that the zonal officers and staff are not fully trained. As a result, incomplete cases are being sent to the JDA Secretary for approval, causing significant delays and applicants have to bear the brunt.

Under the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, the zonal commissioners in the JDA are the authorized officials for land conversion of agricultural land. However, under Section 90A of this Act, the order for land conversion is issued by these authorized officials only after receiving approval from the JDA Secretary. However, many cases being sent by the zonal commissioners for approval to the JDA Secretary have several shortcomings. This is not just an assumption but is revealed in a recent office order issued by JDA Secretary Nishant Jain, which highlights several shortcomings. The cases sent by the zonal commissioners often have simple errors. The zonal staff is not following the established rules and various circulars related to land conversion. First, let us explain what kind of basic shortcomings are being left in the files sent to the JDA Secretary for 90A cases.
