Correct Answer:
A. Para 7.40
This question concerns the administrative procedures for maintaining land records, specifically when an original document is lost. Para 7.40 of the Land Record Manual provides the specific instructions for preparing a duplicate copy of a mutation if the original document is lost. This ensures the integrity and continuity of land records.
- Option A (Para 7.40) is correct as it is the designated paragraph in the manual that addresses the procedure for creating duplicate mutation copies in case of loss.
- Options B (Para 7.20), C (Para 7.39), and D (Para 7.32) are incorrect. These paragraphs cover other aspects of mutation recording or land record maintenance but do not specify the process for preparing duplicate copies of lost mutations.
