Correct Answer:
A. Statement of customs
A Record-of-rights (RoR) is a fundamental document in land administration, detailing ownership, cultivation, and other rights associated with land. It must include a Statement of customs because customary practices often govern land use, inheritance, and rights within a community, making them integral to understanding land tenure and resolving disputes.
- Wills are private documents, not directly part of the public RoR, though they might influence ownership changes.
- Oral evidence is a form of proof used in proceedings, not a component of the permanent record itself.
- A Tehsil map is a geographical representation, complementary to but distinct from the textual record-of-rights.
