Law:

Section:

  East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 (XXVIII of 1951)-No distinction between "khas possession" and "right to khas possession".   East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 (XXVIII of 1951)-Decrees for khas possession obtained by out going rent-receivers prior to acquisition-No provision for execution cases pending on date of acquisition.   East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 (XXVIII of 1951), S. 3(4), Cls.

East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 (XXVIII of 1951), Ss. 3 (4)(c) & 44(7) read with S. 61-Decree for arrears of rent obtained before acquisition-Only decree to vest in Provincial Government.   East Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 (XXVIII of 1951) Ss. 39 & 37-Land ceased to be tenanted-land with passing of decree for khas possession-Compensation to be assessed under S. 39 treating such land as khas land.  …
