TAMIL NADU ESTATES (ABOLITION AND CONVERSION INTO RYOTWARI) AMENDMENT ACT, 1951 (Tamil Nadu Act 17 of 1951) Received the assent of the President on the 28th July 1951 and first published in the Fort St. George Gazette on the 11th August 1951. An Act further to amend the [Tamil Nadu] Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948. Whereas it is expedient further, to amend the [Tamil Nadu] Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 ([Tamil Nadu] Act XXVI of 1948), for the purposes hereinafter appearing; It is hereby enacted as follows: - 1. Short title. - This Act may be called the [Tamil Nadu] Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Amendment Act, 1951. Object & Reasons Statement of Objects and Reasons - Madras Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Amendment Act, 1951 (Tamil Nadu Act XVII of 1951). - Section 54-B of the Madras Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 (Madras Act 26 of 1948), provides that if the aggregate of the amounts of compensation payable in respect of all zamindari estates falls short of twelve and a half crores of rupees, an amount equal to the sum by which the aggregate so falls short should be distributed among the zamindari estates pro rata. The section, as it stands, refers only, to zamindari estates but not to under-tenure estates. Post-settlement under-tenure estates have always been regarded as part and parcel of the principal zamindari estates, and although they are placed in a separate category for the purposes of this Act, the intention was clearly not to make them ineligible for the additional compensation provided for in section 54-B. It is, therefore, proposed to amend that section so as to make post-settlement under-tenure estates also eligible for additional compensation-See clause 2(i) of the Bill. Published in Part 1V-A (pages 362-364) of the Fort St. George Gazette Extraordinary, dated the 24th August 1950. Published in Part-IV-A of the Fort. St. George Gazette Extraordinary, dated the 24th August 1951. Statement of Objects and Reasons - Tamil Nadu Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Amendment Act, 1961 (Tamil Nadu Act 18 of 1961). - The object of the present Bill is to make certain amendments to the Madras Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 (Madras Act XXVI of 1948), to get over certain practical difficulties experienced in the settlement of estates. The amendments empower the Director of Settlements to review his orders determining the basic annual sum and total compensation under section 39(1) of the Madras Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948, if they are vitiated by any clerical or arithmetical mistake or error apparent on the face of the record, or, if, subsequent to the passing of the Order, data for the better calculation of the basic annual sum have become available, or, if the order requires to be modified in pursuance of the final order of any competent authority or Court. The review order of the Director of Settlements will be subject to appeal and revision by the Board of Revenue in the same way as his orders under section 39(1). 2. The Bill also seeks to amend the Schedule to the Madras Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Amendment Act, 1951, in order to rectify a mistake that had crept in respect of two villages, Aradaiendal and Pooranathanendal.
