Section 63: Bar to suits

Text as published by India Code for the Government of Jharkhand in the file "Santhal Parganas Tenancy Laws". The copy marks amendments with square brackets and footnote numbers but gives no "as amended up to" date; the newest amending Act named in its footnotes is the Santal Parganas Tenancy (Supplementary Provisions) Amendment Act, 1975 (Bihar Act 17 of 1976). Its case notes also refer to the Bihar Santal Parganas Vidhi (Amendment) Act, 1984, which changed section 4(vii), and the text already carries later wording such as the reference to Pakur in section 1(3).

The India Code file also carries editorial case notes (most headed "COMMENT" or "COMMENTS") and three notifications issued under section 4 (S.O. 12 and S.O. 14 of 6 January 1989 and one in Hindi); these are not part of the Act and are not reproduced.

The copy prints footnote numbers at many amended places but the footnote text for only three of them (in sections 17 and 20); those three are shown and the other numbers are left out.

In the file some passages are printed out of order (parts of sections 7, 17 and 61, and sections 43 to 61, which follow section 71); here each passage is placed under its own section number and the moved parts of sections 7, 17 and 61 are noted under those sections.

The file prints section 71 only up to clause (iii) of sub-section (2) and does not include Schedules A and B of the Act.

No Chapter I heading is printed, the heading before section 27 is printed as "CHAPTER VI" without a title, and the copy's typing errors (for example "Appontment of a village hweadman" in section 5) are reproduced as printed.
