However , in the Central Province , there were large number of irrigation tanks belonging to old Malguzars which are now vested in Government and tenure holders have right of irrigation. These rights were entered in a document called Walit Parcha which show not only fields which have a right of irrigation over the tank but also give a customary procedure to exercise the rights • It was very cumbersome and difficult to transfer Walit Parcha to individual survey no in Form 7/12 in right column leading to disputes • So a separate record is kept by MLRC as Wajib-ul-arz Sachin Kalantre
