WHEREAS, by Clause Second, Section VIII. Regulation VIII. 1819, of
the Bengal code, it is provided that zemindars shall be entitled in certain
cases to apply for the sale of putnee tenures on which'the right of sale for
an arrear of rent is reserved, by presenting a petition to the Civil Court
of the district, and a similar one to the collector, and whereas the petition
to the Civil Court has not been presented previous to many of such sales,
and it not necessary for protection of the putneedar, it is enacted as
follows:
I. After the passing of this Act, it shall not be necessary for the zemin-
dar in any such case to present a petition to the Civil Court, but a petition
to the collector shall be sufficient.
II. All sales of putnee tenures before the passing of this Act, which
were held without presenting such petition to the Civil Court, and for the
reversal of which no suit was commenced before the 4th day of April in
the year 1850, shall be deemed as valid as if such petition to the Civil Court
had been presented.
III. Every putneedar whose tenure shall have been sold before the
passing of this Act, without such petition having been presented to the
Civil Court, and the sale of which is hereby declared valid, shall be entitled
to recover in a suit against the zemindar, or person at whose instance the
sale has been effected, or his representatives, the amount of any actual
loss or damage sustained by such putneedar by reason only of such sale
having been made without the presentation of such petition to the Civil
Court.
