or not; and notwithstanding that such pensions may have been granted
by the aumils, provided they were regularly charged in the aumils'
accounts, and admitted, or not struck offj by the late Government, they
shall, in like manner, be continued to the present receivers, should it
appear that they have been in the uninterrupted receipt thereof during a
period of three years prior to the cession, or for such other period of time
as, from the circumstances of the case and the situation and condition of
the claimants, may reasonably constitute a prescriptive right to the conti-
nuance of the pension.
Where a claim may be preferred to a pension which shall not See Sec. vii
have been paid to the claimant for a period of three years antecedent to
the cession, and the collector may be of opinion that the claim is of such
a nature as to merit the consideration of Government, he shall submit the
proceedings on the subject of such claim to the Board of Revenue for the
orders of the Governor-General in Council, whatever may be the amount
of the claim.
- VI. Pensions granted to fakeers and other religious persons, for the
purpose of lighting mausoleums or mosques, or for that of repairing them,
as also to enable them to perform their religious ceremonies usual in the
Mohurrum, shall be continued ; but pensions of this description are not
to be considered as of a personal nature, and the collector shall be
responsible for their being applied to the purposes for which they were
bestowed.
VII. Where written tusheeas, certificates, or other deeds, cannot be
produced, the prescriptive right arising from long receipt shall entitle the
claimant to a continuance of the pension.
VIII. In fixing the sum to be paid to the pensioners, the collector is
not to be guided by the amount that may be stated in their respective
certihcates, but by the amount as may appear from the pergunnah or zillah
accounts they were in the habit of receiving ; provided such sum does not
exceed that stipulated in the certificate, which shall in such case become
the standard.
IX. All pensions are to be issued from the zillah treasuries, and are on
no account to be deducted in the pergunnah from any particular article of
revenue arising to Government.
X. For every pension which may be hereafter granted by the Governor-
General in Council, or that may be renewed on the demise of a pensioner,
and which may be issuable from the before-mentioned treasuries in the
ceded countries, the collector shall deliver to the party by whom the pen-
sion is to be received a certificate, stating the amount of the pension, the
title of the party thereto during his or her life, the ground of such title,
and the date of the grant.
XI. The collector is to keep a separate list of all pensions paid under
this Regulation, and is to number and register the certificates or other
sunnuds, and vouchers under which they are held, in a register, in the
REGULATION XXIV.
