It is a settled principle of law that after the acquisition of rent-receiving interests, there remains only one class of tenants, namely raiyats under the Government, in respect of which S.A. Khatians are prepared and finally recorded in accordance with the provisions of the State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950. It is also a settled principle of law that once the Government has accepted rent from a raiyat in respect of a tenancy, it is estopped from challenging the title of such raiyat, and the raiyat acquires a valid title in the said tenancy.
