Section 53: Power of Government, Board etc. to transfer cases

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.

The State Government or the Director of Land Records ¹[or a Commissioner] may transfer any non-judicial case or any class of non-judicial cases not concerned with settlement, and the Board or the Settlement Commissioner or the Director of Land Records [XX] may transfer any judicial or settlement case or any class of such case from any subordinate revenue court or revenue officer to any other court or officer competent to deal therewith.
