Preliminary

(a) "Act" means the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 (No. 20 of 1960);

(b) "Form" means a form appended to these rules;

As soon as possible after the final statement under sub-section (6) of Section 11 is published, the Competent Authority shall, subject to the provisions of the Act and the rules made thereunder, proceed to determine-

(a) the compensation to be paid to a holder in respect of the land declared surplus and vested in the State;

(b) the apportionment of such compensation between the holder and the lessee, if any, as referred to in Section 20;

(d) the manner of payment of compensation, of the amounts apportioned under Section 20 and of secured debt out of compensation.

Part II

Determination of Compensation and Additional Compensation

The compensation to be paid in respect of the land declared surplus and vested in the State shall be calculated according to the scale given in Schedule II appended to the Act. In addition to this, additional compensation payable under sub-section (2) of Section 16 shall be calculated for the [standing trees and the improvements]existing on the land vested in the State Government on the date of vesting.

[3A. The additional compensation for the standing trees shall be calculated according to the scale given in Form A-2 appended to these rules The holder claiming additional compensation for the standing trees shall file a statement in Form A-l. The Competent Authority shall get the statement checked by the Tahsildar who shall verify the nature of trees, measurement of girth and other particulars and calculate the value of trees on the basis of scale given in Form A-2.]

With a view to facilitate the determination of the additional compensation for improvements existing on the land vested in the State, the land-holder shall be noticed to furnish statement in Form A supported by relevant documents.
On receipt of this information the Competent Authority shall proceed to determine the depreciated value of the improvements on the date of vesting of the land in the State. A report from the Local P.W.D. Officer not below the rank of Assistant Engineer, shall be obtained in respect of the cost of the construction, repairs, etc. as given in the statement, life of improvements, probable duration of the effects of such improvements, etc. and its depreciated value in the light of these facts on the date of vesting of the land in the State.
The depreciated value so determined shall be the additional compensation payable in respect of the vested land on which the improvement exist.
According to Section 13 (ii), all arrears of revenue cases other than in respect of land vested in the State under Section 12 and due by the holder for any period prior to the date of vesting are to be recoverable from such holder and shall be realised by deducting the same from the amount of compensation payable to him under the Act. A statement in Form B in duplicate in regard to arrears, etc. in respect of the vested land should be obtained from the Tahsildar of the Tahsil concerned in which the vested land is situate.
On receipt of the statement in Form B from the Tahsildar, the holder shall be noticed in Form C enclosing a copy of the statement to show cause why the arrears should not be deducted from the compensation payable to him in respect of vested land.
If the land-holder objects to the deduction questioning the correctness of the statement, the Competent Authority shall forward the same to the Tahsildar for deciding the objection and communicating the results within a period of two months.
The Competent Authority shall then deduct all such arrears of revenue cases or other dues from the amount of compensation according to the provisions of Section 13.

Part III
