Section 46 in Rules Having The Force of Law and Executive orders Relating to Forests
46. Reservation between adjoining grants. - In the case of all leases of land exceeding 50 acres and not exceeding 600 acres granted under these rules, the Deputy Commissioner shall reserve from settlement-
(a)any land which in his opinion is required for public passage, and(b)a strip of land at least 100 feet wide between the grant and adjoining grants (if any).In the case of leases of land exceeding 600 acres, the Deputy Commissioner shall, in addition, divide the land into convenient blocks and reserve similar strips between each pair of adjoining blocks.If in any particular instance the Deputy Commissioner is unable to follow this rule, he shall report the departure together with his reasons to the Commissioner, who may pass such orders as he thinks fit:Provided that if at any time it appears to the Commissioner that the continuance of any reservation made under this rule, excepting those over which the public have acquired a right-of-way, is unnecessary, he may cancel such reservation and settle the land over which the reservation was made in such manner either by exchange with land already settled, or otherwise, as may appear to him desirable.******
