It is not necessary to adopt them in their entirety where the persons concerned are remote descendants or relations of the original holders. And where the circumstances of the case are at all out of the common, when, for example no price or merely a nominal price, was paid to the owner in the first instance, or when the rise in the value of land in the neighbourhood has been exceptionally large, these facts should be pointed out when referring such cases for orders so that Government may have sufficient material before it to decide whether to offer any special terms to the heirs of the persons from whom that land was acquired. In the case of rendition of land under “Kassies” and abandoned water channels which came under the possession of the Irrigation Department free of cost, land should be restored to the original owners or their heirs free of charge.
