**Bhuiyan** is a land records computerization project of State of Chhattisgarh. It's two parts are

Bhuiyan and Land Map. Where, Bhuiyan is a collection of Khasra and account related

information, the Land Map is a means for managing the Khasra Map. For the users, the facility of viewing related to Khasra (P-11) and Khatauni (B-1) has been provided by Bhuiyan and a copy of Khasra can be seen through it.

abadi means the area reserved from time to time in a village in a non-urban area for the

residence of the inhabitants thereof or for purposes ancillary thereto, and any other local

equivalent of this expression such as "village site" or "gaonsthan" shall also be construed

accordingly;

According to revenue system in the Abadi Land are fixed for the residence of villagers in every village. The Abadi used to have the same Khasra Number as of the area. Later selling and buying of Lands started. The plots got smaller and the land owners too changed, however the registry of the Abadi Land also continued. 

Land Debris can be registered anywhere in State.  The registration of Land Debris is done after taking the Nazri Naksha of the said land from Patwari ,which gives Government better revenue. Last year the Government was giving leases for free out of Abadi Land to urban municipalities and villages of Gariyaband District. It benefits in the sense that landowners are now able to get facilities like taking loans from banks. Till then there were no provision for lease of the abadi land in villages, due to lacking in Nazri Naksha or land records. Earlier to this people were occupying Debris in the Abadi Land and on minimal rates of ₹ 50- ₹ 100 by Stamp paper as tax to Gram Panchayat and local bodies, which were causing huge losses to Revenue of State Government. As simple,right to acquire such, are directly urging them to fulfill Stamp duty as per Rules, which in return benefits Government revenue.

Gangumal vs. Commissioner on 22 April 2009: Abadi Land were to be construed as Nazul

land and their occupiers as their Bhumiswamis after the Act of 1956(Municipal Corporation Act), but for it no records were submitted therefore no relief was granted by High Court under Article 226.

(39-a) Nazul Land means Nazul Land within the city for the management and disposal of which special rules have been made by the government.
