Proceedings of the Legislative Council of the United Provinces Thursday July 29 1926 Official Report

The Government remain of the opinion that for the reasons given by the flon'ble the Finance Member in the course of the debate one-third is a more reasonable limit for the enhancement of rent than one-fourth: and that it is more scientific to fix the period for the periodic revision of controlled rents at onethird rather than at one-half of the period of currency of a settlement. [...] The fifth concerns the addition made to clause 270 (1) (a) to the effect that the third party to whom a tenant alleges that he has paid rent in good faith must be impleaded in the suit at the cost of the plaintiff This complicates a suit intended solely for the purpose of deciding a simple question between the tenant and the person claiming rent from him and further deprives the court of the ois [...] (a) to a reduction of rent to be determined by the collector prportionate to the rental value of the land acquired (b) to retain the remainder of the holding if ally with the same right as before (c) to be reinstated in the land acquired in the circumstances and on the conditions specified in sub-sections (2) and (3) of thisection. [...] It relates to the striking out of clauses 55 to 59 as they stood in the Bill as accepted by the select Committee and the substitution of a new clause enjoining fixation of rent after local inspection at the rate generally payable by tenants of the same class for land of the same class The point is too familiar to all members of the Council to need much elaboration. [...] The Hon ble the President : Has the honourable member obtained the consent of the member in enarge of the Bill ? The Hon’ble Sir Sam O’Donnell : The hollow able member has otained my consent to move the motion for adjournment of the debate.
