Whereas by means of several notifications issued from time to time by the State Government in exercise of the power conferred on it by section 21 of the Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952 (Rajasthan Act VI of 1952), different dates were appointed for the resumption of different classes of jagir lands, settled or mostly settled;
And Whereas certain jagir lands of those classes could not be taken possession of in pursuance of the said notifications because they had not been settled within the meaning of clause (n) of section 2 of the Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952 (Rajasthan Act VI of 1952);
And Whereas other jagir lands of those classes, though not settled as aforesaid, were actually resumed and taken possession of in pursuance of the said notifications under the said Act;
