- Karnataka amended its land revenue law to reform Jamma Bane lands in Kodagu district.
- The amendment, Karnataka Land Revenue (Second Amendment) Act, 2025, received the Governor’s assent on January 7, 2026.
- Jamma Bane lands are hereditary holdings granted by Coorg kings and later by the British, often for military service, including paddy fields and forested uplands.
- Legacy records listed original ancestors as owners, creating legal issues in land mutation, inheritance, sale, and bank credit access.
- The amendment empowers Tahsildars to correct inconsistencies in the Record of Rights after due enquiry.
- It aligns Kodagu’s records with the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 and supports Bhoomi digitisation for updated, legal land ownership.
