Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], October 16 (ANI): The Mutation Adalat will be organised across Himachal Pradesh on October 30, said Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu while presiding over meeting of administrative secretaries on Monday.

The CM also directed the officials to accelerate the mutation process and settle the pending cases of mutation attestation, besides reporting the same to the government, according to a press release by the Chief Minister’s office.

“There are more than 22 thousand such cases lying pending. The Mutation Adalat will be organised throughout the state on October 30 in all the Tehsils, Sub-tehsils and Bandobast (settlement) circles to settle down the pending attestation of mutation cases, which will provide much needed relief to the people. Delay in the mutation process causes many problems to the people and affects the progress of development works as well,” said the Chief Minister.

“He instructed the officials to complete the entire process of application related to Section 118 of the Himachal Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, through an online medium only. This would make the work time bound and also ensure efficiency,” as per the release.
