Section 176: Senior terminology of settlement

The Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956

How current this text is

Text as published by India Code for the Government of Rajasthan (the "updated" English file), with amendments up to Rajasthan Act No. 9 of 2022.

A Rajasthan Land Revenue (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2025 (Bill No. 7 of 2025) inserts section 100-A (Government land placed at the disposal of RIICO for industrial areas) and clause (xvii-a) in section 261(2). Its Act number and assent could not be confirmed from an official source; these changes are not shown in this text.

This copy does not print the Chapter headings of the Act and contains many typing errors (for example "swim partition" and "audible estate" in section 186); the text is reproduced as printed.

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 175, when the State Government is satisfied that it is necessary to terminate before its expiry term of any settlement laid down in or fixed under that section on account of considerable and material fall in prices or on account of a considerable and material difference between.

(2) Simultaneously with or soon after such declaration, the State Government shall, by a like notification, declare such term to be terminated and order the district or area concerned to be brought under resettlement; and thereupon the provisions of this Chapter shall apply as if such district or area were under settlement operations.
