When Collector may be appointed receiver
Full Text
Where the property is land paying revenue to the Government, or land of which the revenue has been assigned or redeemed, and the Court considers that the interests of those concerned will be promoted by the management of the Collector, the Court may, with the consent of the Collector, appoint him to be receiver of such property.
Plain English Summary
Authorizes the court, with the prior consent of the District Collector, to appoint the Collector as receiver over government revenue-paying agricultural land or estates where public administrative management best promotes the parties' interests.
Key Legal Elements
- Government Revenue-Paying Land: Applicable to agricultural estates, tenures, and rural revenue-paying lands.
- Promotion of Parties' Interests: Promotes stable collection of revenue and protection against estate fragmentation.
- Consent of Collector Mandatory: The court cannot impose receiver duties upon the Collector without his prior express consent.
- Official Machinery Deployed: Management carried out through Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar, and revenue administration.
Practical Note
Collector as Receiver in Rural and Agricultural Disputes: 1. Statutory Prerequisite of Consent: The court has no power to unilaterally foist the receivership of an agricultural property on the District Collector. The Collector's consent is a condition precedent under Rule 5. If the Collector expresses inability due to administrative preoccupation, the court must appoint a private advocate receiver. 2. Preservation of Public Revenue: When appointed, the Collector utilizes the revenue machinery (Tehsildar / Revenue Inspector) to cultivate or lease the land and collect land revenue directly, insulating the agricultural estate from disputes.
