9. Compensation for injury done by clearance
Feedback & supportAs soon as possible after the clearance of any line in accordance with a requisition under section 8, the Demarcation Officer shall assess the value of any trees, fences or standing crops, which have been cut down or damaged, and shall pay or tender to the owner thereof the amount of compensation which in his opinion should be allowed therefor.
owner
“owner” means the person for the time being receiving the rack-rent of the lands or premises in connection with which the word is used whether on his own account, or as agent or trustee for any other person, or who would so receive the same if the lands or premises were let at rack-rent.
If the owner is dissatisfied with the amount of compensation assessed by the Demarcation Officer, the matter shall be referred to a Collector of Land Revenue whose decision shall be final.
