The
system of Registration had almost been unknown to the people
of Indo Bangladesh Sub-continent before the advent of British
Regime. The people then used to grab Land of others by force
and fabricated document and produced them, claiming immunity
from payment of Land Revenue and consideration money. As,
such it was very difficult to settle the disputes originated
from those Anomalies.
The
Law of Registration was, therefore, introduced, with a view
to preventing fraud and steamlining the collection of revenue
as well as protecting the right, title and interest of the
common people. The registration of documents was made optioned
though it was provided that certain documents, if registered
would take effect over unregistered document. The Department
of Registration is an old public oriented institution, Although
it is earning huge revenue in domestic resouce under deferent
heads. It is contributing a lion amount of revenue in the
internal source.
