Sd/-L. H. Niblett, Memo No. 1925 (21)/G Dated Rangamati, the 3rd May, 1955. Sd/-Illegible for Deputy Commissiner, N.D.2.5.55ORDERDated Rangamati, the 14th November, 1954. I am afraid I can not concede request to Mr. Abani Rajan Dewan, asking for return to him of Sungrass kholas, the right to which was taken away 28 years ago. The matter went up to the Commissioner and grant is approval and his plea was rejected. I cannot, therefore review the mater now. Having said so much, I find I must, however, make amends for my own mistake six and a half year ago. When I confess, I was nominee in Chittagong Hill Tracts I completely overlooked Rule 45 of the Chittagong Hill Tracts Manual which definitely laid down that grass kholas should be settled by the Deputy Commissioner, ‘as hitherto’ and creation a new another system. This took away and old standing right of Headmen, but like the in complaining people they are nothing was said about it. Today I must frankly revise from that position and admit that I was wrong. Mr. Bala Badra Talukdar in his usual balanced manner, gave me the position quite clearly, but I rejected it that position was that grass kholas were, by prctice, settled with the headmen by private treaty if the headmen agreed to pay reasnable prices at wich they were offered to them. If the kholas were not so accepted by the headmen, they were put to auction and in this case, if the headmen of the mouza happened to be the highest bidder, he is allowed remission of 25% (twenty five percent) of the bid money. I, therefore, cancel my order of 26th April, 1948, in this reference and direct that the above practice be restored.
Sd. L. H. Niblett Deputy Commissioner, C. H. Ts. Memo No. 898(4) C, DT. 14th November, 1954 Coll. –XXIIII-10 of 1954.
Government of East PakistanOffice of the Deputy Commissioner, Chittagong Hill Tracts. It has come to my notice that due to indiscriminate felling felling of trees and cutting of bamboo all over the unclassed state forest of this district there are hardly any timber or bamboos resources available in the Mouza for meeting domestic need f the mouza people. In the past it was the practice to maintain a small reserve in most of the mouza under the control of the mouza headman for meeting the requirements of the mouzapeople for their own use. But since this practice has been given up the people are facing extreme hardship in finding these materials for construction of their houses and for meeting other domestic needs. It is, therefore, found expedient to keep certain areas in each mouza as rreserve so that the mouza people may not have any difficulty in getting these forests produces readily available from the mouza reserve according to their needs with the permission of the Headmen concerned. It is, therefore, ordered that in each mouza there shall be maintained a mouza reserve b the Headmen/Karbaires concerned to be administered by the Mouza Headmen. No timbe or other forest produces from this forest should be alowed to be felled for the purpose of sale. The arrea of the reserved should be approximately 100 acres per mouza whether in one block or more. It may be convenient to have a number of blocks contiguous to bigger paras whose administration may be delegated by the Headmen to the local Karbaries. It will be the responsibility of the Headmen not only to protect these reserves from any encroachment or illegal felling but also to plant up the area with suitable spices. All Headmen are therefore requested to select area or areas along with the boundaries and quantity of lad which they propose to declare as Mouza reserve and send the same to me within one month so that necessary notification can be issued prohibiting any extraction in the area by anybody other than the Mouza people for their own use and that too and with the permission of the Headmen. Anybody encroaching on the Mouza reserve or in any way damaging the Mouza reserve shall be severely punished and the Headmen/Karbaries would be responsible to report such instance to the S. D. Os concerned immediately. This order is issued in pursuance of Rule 7 of the Rules for the administration of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Memo No. 2384 (40. dt. Rangamati. Sd/- M. S. Raham Government of East PakistanOffice of the Deputy Commissioner, Chittagong Hill Tracts. With a vieew to avoid wastage of lad & forest produce and for systematice operation of Jum. Cultivation: It is hereby ordered that the following principles will be followed with immediate effect by all concerned.
