Aks Shajra (Land Map) Copy Application

Answer what you can. The draft beside these boxes is rewritten as you go, so you can see exactly what each answer does to the document.

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

Clearing empties every box on this form, and there is no way back to what was in them.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

APPLICATION FOR A COPY OF THE AKS SHAJRA

Subject: Application for a copy of the aks shajra (village revenue map)

Sir/Madam,

I, __________, __________, residing at __________, contactable at __________, respectfully request a copy of the aks shajra of the land described below.

1. THE LAND

2. MAP REQUESTED

3. PURPOSE

4. MODE OF APPLICATION

PRAYER

It is respectfully prayed that a copy of the aks shajra for the area described above be issued to the applicant on payment of the prescribed fee.

LEGAL BASIS AND WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT

The shajra is the graphical companion to the record of rights for agricultural land in Punjab, and for the retained revenue villages of Chandigarh, prepared at settlement and thereafter kept current through periodical revision under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 and the procedure in the Punjab Land Records Manual. A copy of it shows the numbers and boundaries as last recorded on paper. It is not a demarcation of the boundary on the ground — that is a separate nishandehi proceeding before the revenue authorities — and it is not a title document: it neither transfers nor confirms any interest in the land.

This application does not itself claim, assert or dispute any right in the land; it only asks the custodian of the map to issue a copy of what the record already shows.

Yours faithfully,

__________
__________
__________

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
