Procedure for evicting tenants having right of permanent occupancy

(1) Any institution seeking to evict a tenant under sub-section (2) of Section 8, may file an application before the Tahsildar for that purpose. (2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1) of Section 8, an institution may apply to the Tahsildar for the award of compensation in addition to, or in lieu of eviction for the damage or waste caused by the tenants; the institutions, may also apply for an order prohibiting the tenant from damaging or wasting the land in any manner in case the tenant is not evicted. (3) On receipt of such an application, the Tahsildar shall cause a notice to be served in the prescribed manner on all the persons and institutions concerned and after hearing their representations, if any, pass an order either allowing the application or rejecting it. While passing an order allowing the application for eviction, the Tahsildar may make such further orders as appear to him to be just and equitable: Provided that where the application is allowed, no tenant shall be evicted from the land until he has cut and gathered the crops raised by him on such land. (4) Any person or institution aggrieved by an order of the Tahsildar under sub-section (3) may appeal to the Revenue Court within sixty days from the date of communication of such order and the Revenue Court may, after giving the parties to the appeal a reasonable opportunity of being heard pass such orders on the appeal as it thinks fit. (5) The decision of the Revenue Court under Sub-section (4), and where no appeal is filed, the decision of the Tahsildar under sub-section (3), shall be final.
