Corrected paragraph 8 provides that if a document is presented with valuation on per cent or per acre basis and the authority considers that the valuation does not appropriately reflect the market value, the authority may register the document and refer the matter under Section 47-A of the Act to the appropriate authority for adjudication, with the petitioner free to contest such proceedings. The sentence added to paragraph 9(ii) further provides that it will also be open for the respondent to refer the issue of undervaluation under Section 47-A of the Act to the appropriate authority as per law.
