of the Ajmer Tenancy and Land Records Act, 1950, which came into force on the 10th May, 1950, required that if a tenant awas ejected form his holding between the 1st day of June, 1942, and the 10th day of May, 1950, other wise than in accordance with the Ajmer Land and Revenue Regulation, 1877, he may apply for reinstatement within three months of the later date stating the particulars required under that section and also such other particulars as may be prescribed by rules No rules have so far been made and the limitation prescribed under section 204 expires on the 10th of August, 1950. Although it was open to any ejected tenant to have made his application under that section without having waited for the rules, no such application has so far been made probably due to a misapprehension that it would not be entertained in the absence of any rules on the subject. As the rules are of a complex nature, the Chief Commissioner has taken some time in finalizing them and they are now ready for publication. It is, however, felt that in the circumstances of the case the benefit of this section should be made available to bona fide tenants for a further period of three months.

Section 204 of the Ajmer Tenancy and Land Records Act, 1950, which came into force on the 10th May, 1950, required that if a tenant awas ejected form his holding between the 1st day of June, 1942, and the 10th day of May, 1950, other wise than in accordance with the Ajmer Land and Revenue Regulation, 1877, he may apply for reinstatement within three months of the later date stating the particulars required under that section and also such other particulars as may be prescribed by rules No rules have so far been made and the limitation prescribed under section 204 expires on the 10th of August, 1950. Although it was open to any ejected tenant to have made his application under that section without having waited for the rules, no such application has so far been made probably due to a misapprehension that it would not be entertained in the absence of any rules on the subject. As the rules are of a complex nature, the Chief Commissioner has taken some time in finalizing them and they are now ready for publication. It is, however, felt that in the circumstances of the case the benefit of this section should be made available to bona fide tenants for a further period of three months. Advantage is taken of this opportunity to amend section 203 of the said Act or the purpose of enabling a fee to be levied in suitable cases. It is found that, in respect of such an important proceeding as mutation, no fee can be levied at the present moment, and the amendment of the Act will enable this to be done.
