Among the factors taken into consideration in classifying the land was the nature of the crop grown which is not one of the factors prescribed under the Orissa Tenancy Act At the 1920 settlement the measurements of the previous settlement were found defective but the 1920 settlement itself seems to be no better being also a lathi survey except for the traverse. [...] If the land is forest land forest grow th on the land is sold by the Ranger by auction and the auction purchaser is expected to remove the forest growth within two months; the salami prescribed is thus apart from the value of the forest growth. [...] as penalty over the demand" the land can be restored ; the penalty is Meant to be paid to the new tenant who has paid the arrears and the cost of the suit but the rule does not say that the amount deposited by him should be refunded. [...] The income from the villages is credited in the first instance into the treasury by the sarbarakars appointed by the State and is kept as deposit in favour of the debottar department. [...] In the case of the separate holdings the sarbaraAar does not collect the amount and the rent is deposited direct into the treasury through the debottar mattafzer by the ryots concerned.
