Tenancy during usufructory mortgage

If any land is mortgaged by a landlord by way of usufructory mortgage to a tenant cultivating such land, the tenancy of such land shall be in abeyance during the period the mortgage subsists. After the expiry of the said period it shall, notwithstanding any other law for the time being in force, be lawful for the tenant to continue to hold the land on the terms and conditions on which he held it before the mortgage was created. A receipt to be given under sub-section (2) of section 30 for the rent received in respect of any land shall be in Form X. The receipt shall be given in the language known to the tenant or his authorised agent, who shall sign on a copy thereof in acknowledgement of the correctness of the particulars. The Government, may at any time, direct a survey or resurvey of lands, other than those used ordinarily for the purpose of agriculture only within the site of any village, town or city. Such survey shall be conducted and all its operations shall be regulated according to the provisions made in the preceding Rules of this Chapter.
