Nagaland: Land dispute in Zhavame amicably settled

A long-standing land dispute between Krocha Khel and Pohena Khel at Khatruru/Pronizha in Zhavame village was amicably resolved on February 21 at the Zhavame Council Hall.
The settlement was achieved through the mediation of a Good Will Mission constituted by the Zhavame Village Council, comprising Vivotso Domeh (Convenor), Darhu Shupao (member secretary), and members Mosonyi Domeh, Deo Movi, Reo Dukru, and Sarhunyi Stephen Dukru.
Following a series of meetings held in good faith, both parties expressed their willingness to resolve the dispute peacefully and permanently.
According to a press release issued by the Good Will Mission, an agreement was signed by members of the Good Will Mission and witnessed by Zao Krocha, chairman, Zhavame Village Council, Sanyi Shupao, Head GB, along with representatives N. Andrew Krocha for Krocha Khel and Sokho Pohena, chairman for Pohena Khel.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Krocha Khel “voluntarily relinquishes and transfers all its rights, claims, interests, and title over the entire disputed land at Khatruru/Pronizha in favour of Pohena Khel.” The agreement affirmed that the land shall henceforth be exclusively owned and possessed by Pohena Khel without any claim or objection from Krocha Khel.
The release further stated that, in view of prior decisions rendered by the ADC Court in favour of Krocha Khel and by the Chief Judge, Regional Court Chakhesang Region, GPRN, in favour of Pohena Khel with the intervention of the Good Will Mission, both parties mutually agreed that this settlement is final, binding, and conclusive upon them and their successors.
It was resolved that no further dispute, claim, or legal proceeding shall be initiated by either party in respect of the said land before any court, authority, council, or forum hereafter.
