Fard Badar for Correction of Revenue Record in Haryana
The Financial Commissioner, Revenue, Haryana has clarified that certain left-out entries in Jamabandi, ownership shares, gair-hazir and gair-kabiz entries can be corrected through Fard Badar where the mistake occurred during Jamabandi preparation, mutation updation or computerisation and no subsequent mutation has changed the position.
This page explains when revenue record correction can be sought through Fard Badar instead of unnecessarily approaching civil court.
What the FCR clarification says about Fard Badar
The instruction addresses cases where landowners approach revenue authorities for correction of shares or left-out entries in Jamabandi and are wrongly advised to approach civil court despite the matter being capable of correction under revenue record procedure.
Left-out share entries
Where correct shares were earlier recorded but omitted during Jamabandi preparation, mutation updation or computerisation.
Misal Haquiat basis
If shares were entered in Misal Haquiat / first Jamabandi after consolidation and no later mutation changed them.
Gair-hazir / Gair-kabiz
Such words entered in ownership claim of Misal Haquiat may be re-entered or rectified through Fard Badar where legally permissible.
No routine civil court
Revenue authorities should not decline jurisdiction where correction is covered by Para 7.29 of Haryana Land Records Manual.
If the mistake is only a record-entry error and the earlier authentic revenue record supports the correction, it may be corrected by way of Fard Badar. But if the dispute involves title, rival ownership, fraud, inheritance dispute or change of substantive rights, the matter may require adjudication by the competent authority or civil court.
If the ownership shares or words like gair-hazir or gair-kabiz existed in the earlier record such as Misal Haquiat / first Jamabandi, and the same were left out later due to clerical, copying, updation or computerisation error, correction can be considered through Fard Badar.
The applicant should place the earlier revenue record, present Jamabandi, mutation history and supporting documents before the revenue authority so that the office can verify whether the correction is a genuine record correction or a contested title issue.
Documents for Fard Badar / Jamabandi correction
The exact requirement depends on the village, record history and nature of error, but the following documents are commonly relevant in Fard Badar correction matters.
Application for Correction
A clear written application explaining the error and the exact correction sought in the revenue record.
Old Jamabandi / Misal Haquiat
Earlier record showing the correct ownership share, gair-hazir, gair-kabiz or other entry relied upon.
Current Jamabandi
Latest Jamabandi showing the existing incorrect or incomplete entry which requires correction.
Mutation History
Copies of relevant mutations to show whether any subsequent change has taken place after the earlier entry.
Title / Supporting Documents
Sale deed, inheritance record, partition order, consolidation record or other document supporting the correction.
ID & Address Proof
Aadhaar, PAN, address proof and authority letter or power of attorney if represented by another person.
Certified Copies
Certified copies of revenue record, previous Jamabandis, mutations and orders help avoid objections during verification.
Fard Badar correction vs. civil court dispute
A practical comparison to understand when the matter is a revenue record correction and when it may require adjudication.
| Sr. No. | Situation | Practical Position |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Entry existed in Misal Haquiat / first Jamabandi but was later left out | Correction may be considered through Fard Badar if no subsequent mutation or legal change has altered the entry. |
| 2 | Share entry omitted during Jamabandi preparation or computerisation | Such clerical or record updation error can be placed before revenue authorities with earlier record proof. |
| 3 | Gair-hazir or gair-kabiz words omitted from ownership claim | If these words existed in Misal Haquiat and no later mutation changed the position, rectification through Fard Badar may be sought. |
| 4 | There is rival claim of ownership, inheritance dispute or title conflict | This may not be a simple Fard Badar case and may require decision by competent revenue authority or civil court. |
| 5 | Correction will change substantive rights of parties | Revenue authority will normally require proper adjudication and cannot use Fard Badar to decide complex title disputes. |
How to seek Fard Badar correction, step by step
Identify the exact revenue record error
Check whether the issue relates to share, name, gair-hazir, gair-kabiz, khasra/khewat entry or computerisation error.
Compare old and current revenue record
Compare Misal Haquiat, old Jamabandi, latest Jamabandi and mutation history to confirm how the mistake occurred.
Prepare application with supporting documents
Attach certified copies and explain that the matter is a record correction under Para 7.29, not a fresh title declaration.
Submit before the revenue office
The application may be moved through Patwari/Kanungo/Tehsil office as per local procedure for verification and report.
Verification and Fard Badar entry
After verification and approval by the competent revenue authority, correction may be incorporated in the revenue record.
Common Questions
What is Fard Badar?
Fard Badar is a procedure used in revenue record administration for correction of clerical, copying, computerisation or updation mistakes in Jamabandi or related revenue records, subject to verification and applicable instructions.
Can share entries in Jamabandi be corrected through Fard Badar?
Yes, if the shares were already recorded in earlier authentic revenue record such as Misal Haquiat or first Jamabandi and were later left out inadvertently during Jamabandi preparation, mutation updation or computerisation, correction may be considered through Fard Badar.
Is civil court required in every correction case?
No. If the matter is only a record correction covered by revenue instructions, the applicant should not be routinely sent to civil court. However, where the dispute involves title, fraud, inheritance or rival ownership claims, adjudication may be required.
What if mutation has already changed the ownership position?
If a subsequent mutation or order has changed the ownership position, the matter may not remain a simple Fard Badar correction. The later mutation, order and rights of affected parties must be examined carefully.
Which documents are most important?
Old Jamabandi, Misal Haquiat, latest Jamabandi, mutation record, certified copies and a properly drafted application explaining the error are usually the most important documents.
