interest of the proprietors and the tenure holders in the hall of the mortgagee and lessee in such interests including interest in Trees, Forests, Fisheries, Jalka, Ferries, Hats, Bazars, Mines and Minerals. All the intermediary interest, except Mundari Khutkattari tenancy and the Bhuihari tenure vested in the State. The salient features of the Act came for detailed discussion before the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Gurucharan Singh-Vs.-Kamla Singh and others reported in (1976) 2 SCC 152 , wherein, the Hon’ble Apex Court while discussing the object and scope has been pleased to observe “although there is a blanket vesting of proprietorship in all the lands in the State, the legislation is careful, in the initial stage of agrarian reform, not be deprivatory of the cultivating possession of those who have been tilling the land for long, therefore, while the consequence of vesting is stated to be an annihilation of all interested encumbrances and the Collector, in the land, certain special categories of rights are save, thus, the Raiyats and under-Raiyats are not dispossessed and their rights are preserved.

The purpose and the purport of the provision is to allow the large land holders to keep the small areas, which may designated as the private or the privileged or the mortgaged lands, traditionally held directly and occasionally made over law to others, often servant or others in the shape or of lease or mortgaged.
