(1984 RLR 360) had occasion to interpret clause (b) of Subsection (1) of Section 260 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956 in the context of like notification with which we are concerned issued on 1.7.1961 conferring the statutory powers of Tehsildar under Section 251 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act to decide the disputes as to "rasta" on village panchayat. The expression used in the said notification was the the powers conferred on a Tehsildar by sub-section (1) of Section 251 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 (Rajasthan Act No. 3 of 1955) of the disposing of application of the holder of land disturbed in the actual enjoyment right of way, shall be exercised in place of Tehsildar, by the Village Panchayat of the village in which the right of way has been disturbed is situate. The Court opined that the expression In place of Tehsildar occurring in such notification is ultra vires and the Tehsildar could not have been denuded of the authority conferred on it by the statute by notification issued under Section 260(1)(b) as no such power was conferred on the State Government. The Court said: "The question which falls for determination therefore, is whether the power of Tehsildar conferred on him by Section 251, Tenancy Act to decide dispute as to rasta can be taken away by the State Government by a notification issued by it in exercise of its powers under Section 260 of the Revenue Act. If the Legislature has conferred on the State Government a power to withdraw the jurisdiction and powers of the Tehsildar under Section 251 of the Tenancy Act, there should be no difficulty in answering the question in he affirmative. If the Legislature has conferred on the State Government a power to withdraw the jurisdiction and powers of the Tehsildar under Section 251 of the Tenancy Act, there should be no difficulty in answering the question in he affirmative. But it cannot be answered in the affirmative for the simple reason that the Legislature has enacted Section 260 of the Revenue Act in such a manner as to confer only a limited powers on the State Government to authorise an officer or authority other than the Tehsildar under Section 251 of the Tenancy Act. No power is conferred on the State Government by Section 260 of the Revenue Act to take away the powers of the Tehsildar vested in him by Section 251 of the Tenancy Act. The effect of the notification issued by the State Government under Section 260 of the Revenue Act, in terms of the present case, therefore, is that both the Tehsildar and the Panchayat have concurrent jurisdiction to decide the dispute regarding rasta. The Tehsildar gets such power directly from the Legislature under Section 251 of the Tenancy Act. The Panchayat gets such powers by virtue of notification issued by the State Government as a delegate of the Legislature. The delegate can validity operate within the strict limits of the powers and not beyond them. Section 260 of the Revenue Act confers a limited and delegated powers of the State Government in that it may authorise a Panchayat to exercise the powers of a Tehsildar under Section 251 of the Tenancy Act, but it does not authorise the State Government to withdraw the statutory powers of the Tehsildar under that section. For all these reasons, I must hold that the notification reproduced above is partly bad but, its bad portion is clearly severable from the good portion. For all these reasons, I must hold that the notification reproduced above is partly bad but, its bad portion is clearly severable from the good portion. Now, if the words "in place of Tehsildar" occuring between the word "exercised" and the word "by" are deleted from the saud notification, it will be rid of its vice of being ultra vires Section 251 of the Tenancy Act and Section 260 of the Revenue Act." ¼9½ ekuuh; jktLFkku mPp U;k;ky; dk mDr fu.kZ; izLrqr izdj.k esa iw.kZ:i ls pLik gksrk gSA rglhynkj dks ^vf/kfu;e^ dh /kkjk 251 ds rgr izkIr vf/kdkjksa dks vf/klwpuk ls lekIr ugh fd;k tk ldrkA vr,o izkFkhZ ls bl rdZ esa dksbZ lkj ugh jgrk fd izFke 45 fnu rd rglhynkj dks ^vf/kfu;e^ /kkjk 251 ds rgr izLrqr izkFkZuk&i= dks lquus dk vf/kdkj ugh FkkA ¼10½ mijksDr foospu ds ifj.kkeLo:i ;g fuxjkuh [kkfjt dh tkrh gS rFkk rglhynkj ljokM ,oa vij dysDVj] vtesj }kjk ikfjr fu.kZ; dzek% fnukad 17-12-1996 ,oa 29-4-1997 ;Fkkor% j[ks tkrs gSA ¼11½ fu.kZ; [kqys U;k;ky; esa lquk;k x;kA
