The Oudh Estates Act, 1869

Section 6. Saving of certain redemption-suits

In force · As amended up to 2026-08

6. Saving of certain redemption-suits.— Nothing in sections three, four and five, or in the said orders, or in any sanad, shall be deemed to bar a suit for redemption, (a) where the instrument of mortgage was executed on or after the thirteenth day of February 1844 and fixed no term within which the property comprised therein might be redeemed, or (b) where the instrument of mortgage fixed a term within which the property comprised therein might be redeemed, and such term did not expire before the thirteenth day of February 1856. 6. What the duration of the settlement shall be, and what proportion of the rent shall be allowed in each case to Zamíndárs and Taluqdárs, are questions to be determined at the time of settlement. The Governor General agrees in your observation that it is a bad principle to create two classes of recognized proprietors in one estate, and it is likely to lead to the alienation of a larger proportion of the land revenue than if there were only one such class. But whilst the taluqdárí tenure, notwithstanding this drawback, is about to be recognized and re-established, because it is consonant with the feelings and traditions of the whole people of Oudh, the zamíndári tenure intermediate between the tenures of the Taluqdár and the ryot is not a new creation, and it is a tenure which, in the opinion of the Governor General, must be protected. ____________ ==> picture [471 x 301] intentionally omitted <== SECOND SCHEDULE - ( See section 4 . ) - (1).— Dig-Bijay Singh, Rájá of Balrámpúr. - (2). — Rao Hardeo Bakhsh Singh, of Katíari. - (3). — Káshí Parshád, Taluqdár of Sisséndi. - (4). — Jhabba Singh, Zamíndár of Gopál Khéra. - (5). — Chandan Lál, Zamíndár of Moraon (Baiswára).
