What does it do?
- The ukhada officer named by the government in the Gazette must publish a notice asking landowners and tenant farmers to file details of ukhada land in the Schedule-1 form. The notice goes to the village development committee chair, who must post and publicise it. Within 15 days of posting, both the landowner and the tenant (or their guardians) must file. The officer may extend this by up to seven days.नेपाल सरकारले राजपत्रमा सूचना प्रकाशित गरी तोकेको उखडा सम्बन्धी अधिकारीले जग्गाधनी र किसानलाई उखडा जग्गाको विवरण अनुसूची-१ को ढाँचामा दाखिल गर्न सूचना प्रकाशित गर्नुपर्छ। सूचना गाउँ विकास समितिका अध्यक्षकहाँ पठाइन्छ र अध्यक्षले सबैले देख्ने ठाउँमा टाँसी प्रचार गर्नुपर्छ। सूचना टाँसिएको पन्ध्र दिनभित्र जग्गाधनी र किसान दुवै (वा निजका अभिभावक) ले विवरण दाखिल गर्नुपर्छ। अधिकारीले यो म्याद बढीमा सात दिन थप्न सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 2(1)(ख), Rule 3(1)-(3), PDF pp. 1-2
- If only one side files details, the officer must publish them in the Schedule-2 notice, and anyone who disagrees may complain to the officer with their evidence. If a question about Nepali citizenship arises, the tenant must submit a citizenship certificate within the time the officer sets, at most seven days. Otherwise the land is not registered in the tenant's name.जग्गाधनी र किसानमध्ये एक पक्षले मात्र विवरण दाखिल गरेमा अधिकारीले अनुसूची-२ को ढाँचामा सूचना प्रकाशित गर्नुपर्छ र त्यसमा चित्त नबुझ्नेले आफूसँग भएको प्रमाणसहित अधिकारीसमक्ष उजुर गर्न सक्छ। नेपालको नागरिकताको प्रश्न उठेमा किसानले अधिकारीले तोकेको बढीमा सात दिनभित्र नागरिकताको प्रमाणपत्र दाखिल गर्नुपर्छ, नत्र जग्गा किसानको नाममा दर्ता हुँदैन। Nepal Law Commission Rules 4-7, PDF pp. 2-3
- Once the facts are settled and the tenant agrees in writing to pay the compensation in one sum or in instalments under the Act, the landowner is told. If the tenant shows, within seven days, a receipt from the landowner or proof of a deposit at the land revenue office, the officer must register the land in the tenant's name and issue a Schedule-3 certificate. The landowner must give the tenant a receipt for money received.प्रमाणबाट ठहर भएपछि किसानले ऐनबमोजिम एकमुष्ट वा किस्ताबन्दीमा क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्न लिखित कबुलियत गरेमा त्यसको सूचना जग्गाधनीलाई दिइन्छ। किसानले सात दिनभित्र जग्गाधनीलाई बुझाएको भरपाई वा माल अड्डामा धरौट राखेको निस्सा पेश गरेमा अधिकारीले जग्गा किसानको नाममा दर्ता गरी अनुसूची-३ बमोजिमको प्रमाणपत्र दिनुपर्छ। रकम बुझ्ने जग्गाधनीले किसानलाई भरपाई दिनुपर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 8(1)-(4) and Rule 9, PDF pp. 3-4

Until there is a final decision, the land is not registered in the tenant's name. Appeals under the Act go to the High Court.जग्गामा हक बेहकको विवाद उठेमा मिसिल जिल्ला अदालतमा पठाइन्छ र जिल्ला अदालतले कोर्टफी नलिई कारबाही किनारा गर्नुपर्छ। अन्तिम निर्णय नभएसम्म त्यस्तो जग्गा किसानको नाममा दर्ता गरिँदैन। ऐनबमोजिमको पुनरावेदन उच्च अदालतमा लाग्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rule 7क, Rule 8(5)-(6) and Rule 10, PDF pp. 3-4
- If the person named as landowner does not file details or accept payment, the tenant must deposit the lump sum or first instalment at the land revenue office within seven days of the written undertaking.

Land whose first instalment is not paid stays registered to the landowner.जग्गाधनी भनिएको व्यक्तिले विवरण पेश नगरेमा वा क्षतिपूर्ति नबुझेमा किसानले कबुलियत भएको सात दिनभित्र एकमुष्ट वा पहिलो किस्ताको रकम माल अड्डामा जम्मा गर्नुपर्छ। किसानले म्यादभित्र किस्ता नबुझाएमा जग्गाधनीले माल अड्डालाई लिखित जानकारी दिनुपर्छ र माल अड्डाले सात दिनभित्र ऐनबमोजिम कारबाही गर्नुपर्छ। पहिलो किस्ता नबुझाइएको जग्गा जग्गाधनीकै नाममा दर्ता हुन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 11-13, PDF pp. 4-5
