Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879
(1) The superior holder of an alienated village or of an alienated share of a village, in which there are a hereditary patel and a [Village Accountant] and to which a survey settlement has been extended under section 216, may by application in writing to the Assistant or Deputy Collector in charge of the taluka request that the rent or land revenue due to such superior holder may during a period named in the application be recovered as a revenue demand. (2) The Collector may in his discretion sanction the application for a period not exceeding that named by the applicant, and in such case the following provisions shall apply:— (a) Any rent or land revenue that accrues or has accrued due to the superior holder during the sanctioned period or a period of six years previous thereto shall, to an extent not exceeding the assessment fixed on the land, be recoverable under the orders of the revenue authorities as a revenue demand during the sanctioned period. (b) Where any proportion of the land revenue that accrues or has accrued due to the [State] Government in respect of unalienated land in the same neighbourhood during the said sanctioned or previous period has been suspended or remitted by proper authority, the Collector may suspend or remit an equal or lesser proportion of the rent or land revenue that accrues or has accrued due to the superior holder during the corresponding period. Any such suspension or remission shall, notwithstanding anything in the [Bombay Revenue Jurisdiction Act, 1876], be binding upon the superior holder in any subsequent proceedings in any Civil Court between the superior and inferior holders or their legal representatives and any proceeding pending at the date of such suspension or remission shall abate to the extent of any claim that may be inconsistent therewith; and no Civil Court shall entertain any suit against the [Government] in respect of any such suspension or remission. (c) Where any such suspension or remission has been granted to an inferior holder, the land revenue (if any) payable by the superior holder shall be suspended or remitted, as the case may be, to a proportionate extent. (d) The balance of any sum recovered under clause (a) shall be paid to the superior holder after deduction of the costs, if any, of recovery and of any sum lawfully chargeable upon the sum recovered.
