Provisions for the acquisition of the interest of certain rent-receivers

land Laws of Bangladesh:

Using Section-3 and Section-20 of the State Acquisition & Tenancy Act 1950 the power of the land lords as a rent receiver has been decreased. This two section enable the provincial government to acquire all the rent-receiving interest and in fact, by several notifications, Government has acquired such interests and to totally wiped out the intermediate estates. Specifically this was done by Section-3 of the State Acquisition & Tenancy Act 1950. Again in Section-20 of the said Act also provides provisions for those lands or interests which can be retained in the possession of rent-receivers with certain conditions. And both of this sections also have some consequences. Ultimately we can say that:

1. The interest which can be taken by the Government are mentioned in Section-3 of State Acquisition & Tenancy Act 1950,

2. The interest which can be retained in the possession of rent-receives are mentioned in Section-20,

3. Consequences of this acquisition and retention is mentioned in both Section-3 and Section-20 of the State Acquisition & Tenancy Act 1950.

It was stated in the case of "Jibendra Kishore Vs Province of East Pakistan",

"the intention of the provision of this Act was to eliminate all rent-receiving interests in all the lands in the province and to create a uniform class of tenants directly under the provincial Government"
