Section 33(1) in Rajasthan Tenancy (Government) Rules, 1955
(1)It is impossible to base the relief given to cultivators on estimates of the damage caused to individual fields and no attempts should be made to do so. Estimates of damage must be made for classes of fields as a whole and not for individual fields. The classification of fields for this purpose must depend on the nature of calamity. It may be that the loss is uniform over the unirrigated fields and that the loss, if any, in the irrigated fields is also uniform, in which case it will be necessary only to make for each village an estimate of the loss on the irrigated fields as a whole and on the unirrigated fields as a whole. In other cases the loss may very according to the crop. If so, it will be necessary to mark for each village an estimate of the loss on each crop. It may also be necessary to distinguish not only between crops, but also between irrigated and unirrigated fields of the same crop. In other cases, such as hail or flood, a part only of a village may be damaged or different parts may be damaged to different extents. In such a case it will be necessary to mar off the damaged portion, or the portion damaged to varying extents, on the village map and to estimate the damage done in such portion or in each of such portions. It may be necessary in this case also to distinguish between the different crops in each of such portions. Definite orders must be passed by the Collector in the case of each village affected by the calamity as to the damaged suffered by each class into which he has ordered that the fields be divided. For this purpose if the area damaged is extensive, it will generally be advisable to group villages. It is essential that the system on which fields are to be classified for the purpose of determining the loss be laid down before any attempt is made to work out detailed calculations. Once the classes have been decided on by any authority, no lower authority has any power to very the estimate of loss as between fields of the same class.
