5 Major Rules of Rajasthan Land Revenue

Section 42 (Restriction on Land Transfer)

Sale, gift, bequest, or mortgage of agricultural land belonging to a Scheduled Caste (SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) member to a non-SC/ST member is strictly prohibited. Any such transaction is legally void (ab initio).

Section 90-A (Mandatory Non-Agricultural Conversion)

Agricultural land cannot be used for commercial, residential, or industrial purposes without obtaining a formal conversion order from the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) or competent authority.

Section 91 (Encroachment on Government Land)

Unauthorised occupation or encroachment on government/public land is an offense. The Tehsildar has summary powers to levy fines (up to 30 times the land revenue), order demolition, and evict trespassers.

Section 53 (Right to Claim Partition)

Any co-sharer (khatedar tenant) has the absolute right to file a suit for partition of their joint agricultural holding to separate their individual share and obtain a distinct mutation entry.

Section 251 (Easement and Right of Way)

Landowners have an inherent right of easement. A tenant can file an application before the Tehsildar to demand a new path or resolve blockades on existing agricultural cart-tracks through adjoining fields.
