4) What I am treating as “important” for Ahmedabad / Gandhinagar
- Land title anything affecting old tenure / new tenure, premium, tenancy, NA use, gauchar, or government land allotment.
- Revenue records mutation, record-of-rights, city survey, section 37(2), section 73A / 73AA, and measurement issues.
- Registration Jantri, stamp duty, e-stamping, fee refund, e-filing, power-of-attorney, and index issues.
- Acquisition consent awards, compensation, public-purpose acquisition and farmer certificate issues.
- District focus anything that changes practice in Ahmedabad or Gandhinagar collectorates is kept; unrelated statewide material is skipped.
