These factors may be more or less in consideration of the distances to be travelled and the amount of work to be done by the Patwari, keeping in view the local conditions of particular tracts; in the sandy parts of jodhpur and Bikaner Divisions, where the fields are big the area in any one circle may be kept more than that stated above. Besides these, regard should be had to the complexity of land holding body, the extent of Do-falsi cultivation of the estate holders and cultivators and similar matters which may involve an increase or decrease in the work of the circles.(2)[] [Re-numbered GSR 22, Dated 26-4-97; published in Rajasthan Gazette Extraordinary Part IV-C(I), Dated 6-5-97, p. 33(5)] If the amount of work so demands, the same village may be divided into more than one Patwar circles being allotted a separate set of plot numbers in serial order.(3)[ At the time of formation of Patwar Circle, an effort may be made that each Panchayat may have one Patwar circle.] [Added by GSR 22, Dated 26-4-97; published in Rajasthan Gazette Extraordinary Part IV-C(I), Dated 6-5-97, p. 33(5)]
