122. (1) In the following cases, namely,- (i) where no scheme for the consolidation of holdings is submitted along with the application under sub-section (1) of section 119, or where any such scheme has been submitted with such application but has not been agreed to by all the raiyats affected by it, or (ii) where an application has been made under sub-section (2) of that section, or (iii) where the Government by notification make an order directing that consolidation of holdings be affected in any area and the raiyats of such area fail to produce an agreed scheme under sub-section (1a), the Revenue-officer shall prepare a scheme for the consolidation of holdings of such applications or of each raiyat at in such villages or area, as the case may be; and every such scheme shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Act and of such rules as may be made by the Government in this behalf. ¹[(1a) Upon the publication of a notification under clause (iii) of sub-section (1), the Revenue-officer shall call upon the raiyats of the area, to which such notification relates, to produce, within a time to be fixed by him which may be extended by him, if necessary, an agreed scheme of consolidation of holding.] (2) For the purpose of assisting him in the preparation of a scheme for consolidation of holdings under sub-section (1) in any local area or for the purpose of securing an agreed scheme for consolidation of holdings in respect of any area under sub-section (1a), the Revenue-officer may, subject to such rules as may be made by the Government in this behalf, appoint an Advisory Committee in respect of such area and may provide such Advisory Committee with such technical assistance as he may consider necessary. ²[(2a) When an agreed scheme is produced under sub-section (1a), the Revenue-officer shall deal with such scheme in the same manner as provided in section 121.] (3) In preparing a scheme for the consolidation of holdings under sub-section (1), the Revenue-officer shall have due regard to any proposal with regard to the consolidation which has the largest measure of agreement amongst the parties, affected by it, and in making the redistribution of lands for the purpose of the consolidation, he shall see that the total area of a holding or the profit to be derived therefrom is affected as little as possible. (4) If in preparing a scheme for the consolidation of holdings under sub-section (1), it appears to the Revenue-officer that the redistribution of lands will result in allotment to any raiyat of any parcel of land of market value lower than the market value of his original parcel of land, the Revenue-officer shall in the scheme provide for the payment of compensation to such raiyat by the raiyat or raiyats who, in the opinion of the Revenue-officer, will be benefited by the allotment of the more valuable land of the first-named raiyat. (5) In preparing a scheme for the consolidation of holdings under sub-section (1), the Revenue-officer shall, in any case where the land is of such a kind that the productivity of different areas may vary from year to year, give due consideration to this fact and shall attempt to preserve the balanced character of the holdings, as far as possible, and where the plots of land exist at different levels, he may consolidate the holdings in two or more blocks each at a different level. (6) Before confirming a scheme for the consolidation of holdings in any area under section 121 or section 123, the Revenue-officer shall ascertain, as far as possible, all encumbrances, including mortgages, attached to the land situated within such area and shall issue a notice in the prescribed manner calling upon all beneficiaries of encumbrances to declare their interests within a date to be fixed in that behalf and it shall then be incumbent on the persons, in whose favour such encumbrances have been created, to declare the encumbrances before the Revenue-officer within the period fixed in such notice and if any such person fails to declare such encumbrances within the said period, the encumbrances shall cease to be attached to any part of the land originally encumbered that has not remained with its owner after consolidation. (7) In preparing a scheme for the consolidation of holdings under sub-section (1), the Revenue-officer shall see that the sum total of the rent of all holdings under the scheme is not reduced by the distribution of the rent consequent on redistribution of the lands. (8) In conducting any proceedings for the consolidation of holdings in any case where the value of a holding is materially changed, the Revenue-officer shall simultaneously apportion the rent in such a way that the incidence upon the owners of holdings bears the same proportion to the value of each holding as it did before. (9) Each consolidated holding shall bear one single rent.
