Duty of Tehsildar

Duty of Tehsildar.--After receipt of shajra and khasra and expiry of the period of notice, the Tehsildar should satisfy himself, by personal enquiry on the spot, as to whether the construction of the proposed mill will in any way be harmful to the interests of the downstream mill owners or the irrigation of land. Even if no objections have been put in, the Tehsildar should satisfy himself and the result of the inquiry should be noted on the file. If it appears that the construction of the mill will be harmful so far as irrigation of land is concerned, the working of the mill may be permitted for a period other than the one when water is required for irrigation. When a channel for the water mill is taken out of a nallah within which exists a trout nursery or when trout is stored for fishery, the Fisheries Department should be consulted before the water mill is granted.
