The demarcation of Forest Boundaries will be surveyed on Patwar maps. As far as possible old system of surveying boundary lines by plane tables will not be restarted. Only where the boundary lines cannot easily be identified on Patwari village maps, such survey may be carried out. For this purpose, the Forest Settlement Officer will arrange to get the traces of the latest settlement of the village adjoining Forest Blocks on Tracing cloth from the original survey sheets and proceed with the work by taking compact ranges. The target of survey is fixed with 25 sq. miles per Ameen for the field season.
The Ameen will first proceed to the village in North West of the Forest Block and start work with the help of neighbouring 'Mustkil' points viz, wells, boundary pillars, Mustkil, Maths and survey the former Boundary by preparing the field book. He will plot the day's work every day and the Inspector in his weekly inspection will check the work on the traces. The details of the boundary line with regard to the checking will be recorded in the Inspection Book.
6 The Patwari, Village Mukhia and the Forest Guard will also remain with the Ameen.
The Inspector will not ink the line of dispute. 1[He will inform the Forest Settlement Officer of the Circle who will visit the spot and issue final orders. Thereafter the disputed line will be inked.] The pukhta work will be done during the office season.
After completion of the survey operation the Ameen will prepare the Sarhadi Register of the block as per Form 'K' which will also be checked by the Inspector, 2[xxx] the Forest Settlement Officer at the time of their respective inspections of the block.
