difference between the amount of the sale price thereof and amount
of the market value of only the superstructure on the date of the
sale shall be the full market value;

the date of the transfer plus sixteen times the ground rent shall be
the full market value; and

Rules, 1969".

3. Issue of notice and proclamation.— (1) On receipt of the
application, the Collector shall hear the applicant in person on any,
day of which due notice shall be given to the applicant or on any
day to which hearing may be adjourned; and if after hearing the
applicant, it appears to him that the case does not fail under
rule10, he shall cause to be served in accordance with the
provisions of section 173, a notice in Form A appended to these
rules on all the other co-holders requiring them to appear before
him and state their objections, if any, on a day to be specified in
the notice which shall not be less than thirty or more than sixty
days from the date of the issue of the notice on each such co-
holder.
 -95-

proclamation shall be posted at the head-quarters of the Taluka, and
in the village in which the holding is situated; and if necessary, to
the Co-operative Bank or the Land Development Bank or both

4. Power of Collector to reject partition.— If after hearing the
applicant, the co-holders and any other persons who appear, it
appears to the Collector that there is sufficient reason for
disallowing the partition, he may, by order in writing stating the

holding by the co-holders, so however that when the total
assessment of all the sub-divisions of any survey number in such
holding falls, short of, or exceeds, the whole assessment of that
survey number, the difference shall be equitably distributed over
the sub-divisions by addition or deduction in the assessment so as
to make the total equal to the assessment of the parent survey
number.
7. Procedure before confirmation of partition.— After the
partition has been completed, the Collector shall hear any
objections which the parties may make, and shall either amend or
confirm the partition. The partition shall take effect from the

the provisions of rule 5, 6 and 7 shall apply as they apply in relation
to partition of a holding on the application of a co-holder.

10. Saving.— No holding shall be partitioned under the provisions of

these rules, if such partition results in creating a holding less in
extent than the standard area determined by the Government
under the provisions of any law for the prevention of fragmentation
and consolidation of holdings.

principal crops which prevailed at each marketing centre in the zone
for the last 10 years or such lesser number of years as the case may
be, from the Director of Agriculture and compile it in Form 2. Where
