The Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area)

Abolition of Inams Act, 1955

Important Note

The Hyderabad Abolition of Inams Act, 1954 (Act VIII of 1955) was repeated by the Andhra

Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams Act, 1967 (Act IX of 1967). The Andhra Pradesh

High Court struck down the 1967 Act as unconstitutional by its judgment, dated the 31st

March, 1970 on the ground that repeal of an enactment, which had already been given effect

to, as a device for depriving the inamdars the compensation to which they are entitle to, was

still born and null and avoid. The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court and

observed that the 1967 Act was unconstitutional from its inception, that it was non-est and

cannot have any effect and that the provisions of the 1954 Act cannot therefore be held to be

repealed at all and they are in existence vide Md. Shaukat Hussain Khan vs. State of AndhraPradesh, A. I. R1974 S.C 1480 : (1974) 2 S. C. C. 376.

After the 1967 Act was struck down by the High Court, the State Government has brought

the provisions of 1954 Act into force from 1st November, 1973, in the notification issued with

G.O. Ms No. 947, Rev. (G), dated 20th October, 1973, which is extracted below.

In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 1 (3) (b) of the Andhra Pradesh (TelanganaArea) Abolition of Inams Act, 1954 (Act No. VIII of 1955), the Governor of Andhra Pradesh

vested in the State. That is also the date with reference to which the rights of the parties for

obtaining occupancy pattas have to be determined. What was suspended by virtue of the

permanent tenant, protected tenant or non-protect dtenant shall be extinguished ;

CASE LAW

Inamdar cannot create a tenancy in the date on which the Act came in force :- It washeld in Fareedunissa Begum vs. S. Stta Reddi, C.C.C.A No. 34 of 1965, dated 3-3-1970

(unrepeorted) that an Inamdar cannot create a tenancy on the date on which the A. P. (Telangana

Area) Abolished of Inams Act, 1955 came into force. The lessees under such a tenancy ae not

tenants, and all rights of such land vest in the State. The same law will apply to a purchaser of

a maqtha or a jagir.

All Rights, title and interest vesting in inamdar - Scope :- The words in Section 3 (2) (b)

"all rights, title and inerest" include abkari rights in Inams, vide Mohammad Shoulat Khan vs

State, 1966 (2) An WR 427.

Persons claiming title to the lands on abolition of inam before patta is granted is not entitledto dispossess a person who is in possession of the lands, vide The Samsthan Shri Bhaiji

Mahraj Temple vs. Reveier, 1969 (2) APLJ 36 (Short Notes)

Sees. 3 and 10- Suit filed for partition of Inam lands after the abolition of the Inams under

the Act - Tenant disputing the ownership of the land - Dispute pending adjudication by the

authorities under the Act - Civil Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the suit.

The Civil Court has no jurisdiction in respect of such Inam land to pass a decree for partition.

It is now well established that after the abolition of the Inams , the Inam lands shall stand

vested in the Government. All the pre-existing rights shall stand extinguished. New rights are

yet to be acquired after an inquiry is made under Sec. 10 of the Act by the authorities constituted

thereunder. After such an adjudication and finality and acquisition of the new rights thereunder

the parties are entitled only to those rights recognised.

The decree of the trail Court confirmed by the Appellate Court is without jurisdiction and

absolutely void. Seethal Singh vs. Mahamood Sariff and others (amaswamy, J) 1984 (2) ALT

199 = 1984 (1) APLJ 302 -1984 (1) An. WR 406 (Overruled in AIR 1987, AP. 22)

4. Registration of Inamdars as occupants :- (1) Every inamdar shall, with effect from the

date of vesting, be entitled to be registered as an occupant of all inam lands other

than -


38/56

38

cmyk

cmyk

(a) lands set apart for the village community, grazing lands ; waste lands forest lands,

mines and qurrles ; tanks, tank beds and irrigation works, streams and rivers ;

(b) lands in respect of which any person isentitled to be registered under Section 5,6,7

and 8 of the Act;

(c) lands upon which leave been erected buildings owned by any person other than inamdr;

Which immediately before the date of vesting, were under his personal cultivation and

which, together with any lands he separately owns and cultivates peronally are equal

to four and a half times the 'family holding'.

(2) No inamdr shall be registered as an occupant of any land under sub-section (1) unless

he pays to the Government as premium an amount equal to twenty-five times the

difference between the judi or quit-rent, if any, paid by him and the land revenue payable

in respect of such land. The amount of premium shall be payable in not more than ten

annual installment, shall be recoverable as arrears of land revenue due on the land in

respect of which it is payable.

(3) The inamdar shall be entitled to compensation from the Government s provided for

under this Act in respect of inam lands in his possession in excess of the time limit

specified in sub-section (1) whether cultivated or not.

(4)- Omitted by Act No. 16 of 1986.

Objects and Reasons for omitting the Sub-section 4

Sub-section (4) of the Section 4 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams

Act, 1955. Provides that, if the lands for the purpose of registration of inamdar as occupant are

required to be resumed to make up the deficiency to the extent of 3 family holdings, the sameshall be resumed under the provision of Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Tenancy and

Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 in the order provided there-under.

The rights of an inamdar to resume land to make up deficiency to the extent of 3 family

holdings under the above said provision works out to the disadvantages of permanent tenants,

protected tenants and non-protected tenants in the case of inam lands. The Government have

therefore decided to suitably amend the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Abolition of Inams

Act, 1955.

CASE LAW

Sees. 4 and 5 - Suits for partition of Inam lands - maintainable

It is only the Civil Court which is competent to pass a decrees for partition and also determine

the sharers of the co-shares of the joint family property. The relief for partition of suit properties

is purely of a civil nature and it is within the competence of Civil Court to try the case (1984 (2)

ALT 199 = 1984 (1) An. WR 406 overruled). Lukraj and others vs. Kishanlal and others (Raghuvir

& Sriramulu, JJ) AIR 1987, A. P. 22.

Sees. 4 and 35 (2) (c) and Rule 5 of the Rules made in 1975 - Application filed by Inamdar

in 1973 for certificate for occupancy rights- Not barred.


39/56

39

cmyk

cmyk

The inamdars who are entitled under sec. 4 to apply for a certificate for occupancy rights

should not be compelled to wait untill the rules are applied for a certificate under Sec. 4 , but as

no action was taken, he again reiterated his request by filling another application and the present

applicant was the third in the series. When the Act does not prescribe any time limit there is

nothing wrong if the 3rd respondent invoked the jurisdiction of the cometent authority by making

an application. Merely because the rules came into force in 1975, it does not settle the same.

Power is specifically conferred by Sec 35 (2) (c) on the Government to make rules provided for

time limit for applications and appeals presented under the Act in cases for which no specified

provisions is made. Prescription of time cannot be said to be an essential legislative function

which cannot be delegated. When the statute expressly confers power on the subordinate agency

to make rules unless it is held that the nature of the power is such that it cannot be delegated,

the subordinate legislation cannot be faulted either as unreasonable or ultravires the section.

5. Registration of Kabiz-e-kadim as occupant:- (1) Every kabiz-e-kadim shall, with effect-from the date of vesting, be entitled to be registered as an occupant in respect of such

inam lands in his possession which were under his personal cultivation and which,

together with any lands he separately owns and cultivates personally are equal to four

and a half times the 'family holding'

(2) The kabiz-e-kadim shall be entitled to comensation from the Government as provided

for under this Act in respect of Inam lands, in his possession in excess o f the limit

specified in sub-section (1) whether cultivated or not.

6. Registration of permanent tenants as occupant:- (1) Every permanent tenants shall,

with effect from the date of vesting, be entitled to be registered as an occupation in

respect of such inam lans in his possession as may be left over after the allotment

under Section 4, which immediately, before with any lands he separately owns and

cultivates personally, are equal to four and a half times the 'family holding'

(2) The Permanent tenant shall be entailed to ci,paenstion from the Government as provided

for under this Act in respect of inam lands in his possession in excess of the limit in sub-

section (1) whether cultivated or not.

(3) No permanent tenant shall be registered as an occupant of any land under subsection

(1) unless he pays to the Government as premium an amount equal to twently- five

times the land revenue for dry land and nine times for wet land. The amount of premium

COMMENTARY

Secs. 10 and 24 and the A.P. (T.A.) Abolit ion of Inams Rules, 1975, Rules 5 and 6 -Limitation

prescribed under Rule 5 cannot control Sec. 10-Application before Revenue Divisional Officer

for grant of patta filed beyond 9 months stipulated under Rule 5 - Not barred by time.

Secs. 10 and 24 are essentially concerned with the determination of rights of the diverse

categories comprised Sees. 4 to 8. Sec 24 regulates the time within which the appeal can be

filed and Sect. 10 is not circumscribed by any time limit. The conspicuous absence of provision

of time bound programme idictes that the exercise of power under Sec. 10 is not hedged in by


41/56

cmyk

any time limit and the determination of rights within a specified time is not intended by Sec. 10

as distinguished from Section 24.

The context and set up of Sec. 10 and Sec. 24 disclose that both the provisions are self

contained and unequivocally defined any prescription by extraneous provisions. The rules made

pursuant to section 35 cannot make inroads into the self contained scheme transparent in Sec.10 and Sec. 24. Sec 35 (1) cannot be invoked for the prescription of time limit as it cannot be

considered as crying out the purpose into serve as there is no explicit provision toleration any

prescription. Section 35 (2) (c) also cannot be invoked as Section 10 expressly intended that

there should not be any time limit in exercise of power under this provision.

The scheme of the provisions of the Act and particularly Sec, 10 and Sec.24 does not permitany

prescription by rules regarding time for the exercise of power. From this perspective Rule 5

seeking to percolate into Section 10 by prescribing time has gone astray Md. Siddique Hussain

vs. The District Collector, Rangareddi Dist. 1985 (2) A. P. L. J. 102 [Dissented in 1987 (1) A. L.

T 113.]

11. Saving of rights in certain cases:- (1) Where before the date of vesting, an inamdar ha

created, either by way of lease or otherwise, any right in any inam land which vests in

the State other than the lands specified forest, mines or minerals, quarries, fisheries or

ferries, the transaction shall be deemed to be valid and all rights and obligations arising

thereunder on or after the date of vesting/

shall be enforceable by or against the

Government;

Provided that the transaction was not void or illegal under any law force;

Provided further that where such right was created in any lands, other than the lands

specified in clauses (a) to (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 4 the Government may, if in

their opinion, it is the public interest to do so, by notice given to the person concerned,

terminate the right with effect from such date as may be specified in the notice, not

being earlier than three months from the date thereof.

(2) The person whose right has been terminated by the Government under the foregoing

proviso shall be entitled to compensation from the Government equal to the estimated

net income which have accrued to such person from the land for the unexpeired portion

for which the right was created, having regard to all the circumstances of the case.

CASE LAW

Section 5 of Limitation Act is not applicable to the Abolition of Inams Act for orders passed

under Section 8 read with Section 10 if sufficient cause is shown:- A perusal of Section 24 ofthe Andhra Pradesh (Telangna Area) Abolition of Inam Act, 1955 discloses that a wide discretion.

The 30 days time prescribed under Section 24 of the Act is enlarged at the discretion of he

appellate authority. Thus it is seen that it is a case of discretion vested in the appellate authority

to extend the period of limitation but not excusing the delay for not filing the appeal within

time.

It was further held by Justice Kondanda Ramaiah in A. Balaiah and others vs. The District

Collector, Hyderabad District, 1983 (1) A. L. T. 7 (N. R. C ) : W. P. Nos. 575/81, dated 15-12-

1982 that the proceedings under Section 6 and 8 of the Telangana Area Abolition of Inam Act,

1956 or in the nature of Public deliberations and the concersion of tenure of an inam into

ordinary tenure has to take place in the public interest. The ordinary test of sufficient causewould not apply in the case of an aggrieved party showing sufficient cause for every day's

delay in filing appeal, Seciton 5 of the Indian Limitation Act has no application, as Section 24

of Telangana Area Abolition of Inams Act, 1955 itself has given power of authority to entertain

the appeal.

25. References to the Special Tribunal:- The Collector may, for reasons to be recorded in

writing either suo motu, or on the application of any person interested in the

compensation, refer any case relation to the apportionment of compensation to the

decision of Special Tribual.

26. Appeals to the Special Tribunal:- Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Collector

under Sections 19, 20, 21 and 22 may within thirty days from the date of decision/ or

such further times as the Special Tribunal may for sufficient cause allow, appeal to the

Special Tribunal.

appellate authority-

(a) exercise a jurisdiction not vested in it by law;

(b) failed to exercise a jurisdiction so vested; or

(c) acted illegally or with material irregularity in following the procedure of passing the

order.

CASE LAWRevision:- Revision to High Court under Sec. 28 maintainable against the appellate orders of the

Collector (i. e., Joint Collector) made under Section 24(1) in matters concerning section 10 i. e.,

grant of occupancy right certificates.

It was held that Reading S. 2 (a) with S. 28, it is clear that under Sec. 28 the Legislature wanted

to prohibit a revision in cases where an appeal lay, (this is on similar lines sec. 115/

C. P. C.) or

a reference lay. But the legislature did not intend to disallow a revision to the High Court against

appellate orders of the Collector. In as much the prohibition in Sec. 28 is only in regard to orders

of the R.D.O which are appealable under Sec. 24(2). Notwithstanding the delegation, the Joint

Collector while dealing with the appeals is still a Collectors because of Sec. 2(a) Hence the

words in brackets in Sec. 24(1) or against which a reference is under Sec. 24 (2). but not to

appellate orders of he Collector (i.e., Joint Collector) made under Sec. 24 (1) in matters concerning

Sec, 10 i.e., grant of occupancy right certificates. (Vide Case Law G. V. Narasimha Reddy and

another vs Syed Aktar AH, 1988 (2) A.L.T 136.
