“11. The next question, which requires consideration, is : whether the Collector has powers under rule 14(4) of the Rules, 1970 to cancel the allotment of the land made in favour of the petitioners after the conferment of the Khatedari rights in their favour ? The khatedari rights conferred upon the tenant can be withdrawn only in accordance with the provisions of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 and the Collector has no power under rule 14(4) of the Act to cancel the allotment made in favour of the petitioners with respect to the land in which the Khatedari rights have already been conferred upon them because after the conferment of the Khatedari rights, the applicability of the Rules comes to an end. The powers under Sub-rule (4) of Rule 14 of the Rules, 1970 can be exercised by the Collector before conferment of the Khatedari rights and after the conferment of the Khatedari rights, the petitioners acquired all the rights for which they are entitled under the Rajasthan Tenancy Act and thereafter the provisions of Subrule (4) of Rule 14 of the Rules, 1970 has no application. The order, passed by the Collector, Bikaner, exercising its powers under Rule 14(4) of the Rules, 1970, is, therefore, without jurisdiction. The order passed by the learned Collector and the orders passed by the Revenue Appellate Authority and the Board of Revenue confirming the order passed by the Collector, therefore, deserve to be quashed and set-aside.”
