The Khalsa lands held by the family are situate, with insignificant
exceptions, in Kotguru. For the origin of the maafi tenure I beg to
refer to paragraph 98 of Mr. Edwards' letter appended. Whatever portion
of these lands a member of the family owns, he is entitled to hold free
of revenue.
The temple grants I have not checked against the original records,
but only against the sunuds in possession of the owners. The usual
cheeking of the grants has been undertaken by the Deputy Commis-
sioner.
The land held free of revenue by the Kotguru Mission is being
similarly checked. For some of it probably no authority remitting
the revenue will be forthcoming, as it is old cantonment land. But
I presume that Government do not desire to impose revenue on
a body, the funds of which are devoted to local educational work ;
and that on application formal sanction for its remission would be
granted.
The land, of which the revenue has been redeemed, has been so held
since 1863, and is a tea estate now owned by Mr. Stewart.
*[Besides this waste the maafi villages of Kotkhai have within their bounds 23b acres of
forest owned by Government.]
