Provided further that upon restoration of the previous allotment, if the land originally allotted has, meanwhile, been allotted to any other person equivalent area of land shall be allotted elsewhere in the command area to the allottee.]

[Provided further that no order of restoration of the original allotment shall be made unless the allottee had started living permanently in the Chak Abadi of the allotted land or in the chak in which the allotted land is situated, before the order of cancellation of allotment and makes an application for review within 60 days from the commencement of Rajasthan Colonisation (Allotment of Land to Pong Dam Oustees in the Indira Gandhi Canal Colony) (Amendment) Rules 1984:

[8AA.
