1. (1) Any person acquiring, by inheritance, purchase, mortgage, gift or otherwise, any right in an estate as a land-holder, 2[an occupancy tenant or a protected tenant,] shall report such acquisition to the patwari of the estate.
2. (2) If the person acquiring such right is a minor or otherwise disqualified, his guardian or other person having charge of his property or, if there is no property in his possession, of his person shall make such report to the patwari.
3. (3) The patwari shall enter in his register of mutations every such report and shall also make an entry therein respecting the acquisition of any such right as aforesaid which he has reason to believe to have taken place, and of which a report should have been made to him under this section and has not been so made.
4. (4) A Revenue officer shall from time to time inquire into the correctness of all entries in the register of mutations and into all such acquisitions as aforesaid coming to his knowledge of which under the foregoing sub-sections, report should have been made to the patwari and an entry made in that register, and shall in each case make such order as he thinks fit with respect to the entry in the annual record of the right acquired : 3[ Provided that the Government may by rules curtail, limit or restrict the power of any Revenue Officer or class of Revenue Officers to inquire into and dispose of any such case or class of cases.]
5. (5) Such an entry shall be made by the insertion in that record of a description of the right acquired, and by the omission from that record of any entry in any record previously prepared which by reason of the acquisition has ceased to be correct.
6. (6) In cases of acquisitions of the rights of assignees of land revenue mutation shall be made in accordance with the final orders of competent authority.
