Section 31 of The Ajmer Tenancy and Land Records Act, 1950
Vacating of holding on extinction of right.
Except as otherwise provided in this Act, when the interest of a tenant or sub-tenant is extinguished he shall vacate his holding, but shall have, in respect of the removal of any crop the same rights as a tenant would have upon ejectment in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Summary
- Once a tenant's or sub-tenant's right to the land is officially over, they are legally required to leave the holding.
- Even though they must leave, they are given a fair chance to take any crops they have grown.
- They have the same rights to remove their standing crops as a tenant who is being formally ejected.
- This provision ensures that the end of a legal right to land doesn't mean the immediate loss of the food or money from crops already in the ground.
- It applies broadly to both tenants and sub-tenants whose interests have been extinguished under the Act.
