The grave errors committed by the Computer Operator in the matters related to change in khata and other issues, are being rectified, when the issues are raised at the Tahsildar’s Court. In the next level, the aggrieved parties appeal to the AC’s Court, which functions in a rather sluggish pace. The prolonged delay is caused, when the matter reaches DC’s Court. If the cases are filed at the Civil Courts, the plaintiffs have to wait for years for the Court to take up the matter for trial. The system should change. —Attahalli Devaraj, farmer leader
