Last transaction if made to an agriculturist to be valid even if earlier transaction or transactions may be invalid.

(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 54, where the Mamalatdar suo moto or on the aplication of any person interested in the land, has reason to believe that, in the breach of the provisions of clauses (a), (b) or (c) of sub-section (1) of section 54, transfer of the land had taken place in favour of a person who was not an agriculturist, and that certain transaction or transactions have taken place thereafter and the person in whose favour the last transaction was made on or before the 30th June, 2015, is an agriculturist, he shall issue a notice to such person and shall give him an opportunity of being heard and also make an inquiry as he deems fit.

(2) If the Mamalatdar comes to the conclusion that as a result of the last transacton in respect of such land the person to whom such land was transferred is indeed an agriculturist, he shall call upon such person to pay to the State Government, for the use of such land only for the agricultural purpose, the amount of ten per cent. of the prevailing Jantri and after such payment he shall declare, by an order, such last transaction to be valid irrespective of the fact that any one or more of such transactions was or were invalid and upon such order, no proceedings under section 75 shall be initiated and if already initiated shall be discontinued forthwith.
