return filed in W.P No.19433/2017 ( Tulsiram Chadar vs.
State of M.P. and others) in all Writ Petitions. It was
submitted that as per Madhya Pradesh Swamitwa
Adhikaro (Malikana Hak) (Ilako, Mohalla, Dumala Bhumi)
Ka Aant Karne Ka Adhiniyam, 1950, Gram Kotwar is
holding two types of land, one is for village service and
second for personal service of the Malgujars. If land was
given to Kotwar by Malgujars for personal service then
said Kotwar will be occupancy tenant in view of Section
45(3) of the Adhiniyam of 1950 and land which was given
to Kotwars for village service, then he is holding it from
the State as service land and this will be governed by
Central Province Tenancy Act, 1920. In case of service
land given to Kotwar for village service, he will not
acquire the status of occupancy tenant and he does not
acquire any right over such land and said land is attached
to post of Kotwar. Petitioners are holding land's for village
service on behalf of Malgujars/Jamindars and after
abolition of said system, all lands belonged to State,

therefore, petitioners are not occupancy tenant and
Bhoomi Swami rights are not conferred on them,
therefore, Writ Petitions be dismissed.
