Section 40-A: Termination of the services of Lambardars

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.

“1Notwithstanding anything contained in the Rajasthan General Clauses Act, 1955 (Rajasthan Act 8 of 1955), or in any other law for the time being in force, all Lambardars appointed or deemed to have been appointed under this Act, shall, as from the date of commencement of the Rajasthan Land Revenue (Amendment) Act, 1963, ceases to be Lambardars of the village or group of villages for which they were appointed and shall cease to exercise the powers conferred and to discharge the functions and duties imposed on them, by this Act, and the duty of collecting he revenue or rent or any other State demand shall, until the State Government directs otherwise, be performed by the Patwari of the circle.]”
