Section 3 of The Ajmer Tenancy and Land Records Act, 1950

Any rule, notification, proclamation and order issued, authority and power conferred, lease granted, right acquired, liability incurred, rent fixed, and any other thing done under any Act, Ordinance, Regulation or notification, or under any jagir or istimrar sanad, as the case may be, shall, in so far as it is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act, be deemed to have been respectively issued, conferred, granted, acquired, incurred, fixed and done under this Act.

Summary

This provision protects actions taken under previous laws as long as they do not clash with the new Act.
Old rules, notifications, and proclamations are treated as if they were issued under the new law.
Leases granted and rights acquired before 1950 remain valid if they are consistent with the new rules.
Any rent that was already fixed or liabilities that were incurred are carried over into the new system.
It basically bridges the gap between the old legal system and the new Act to prevent confusion.

Practical examples

1In 1948, a tenant named Abdul acquired a specific right to graze sheep under a previous local regulation. Since this right does not clash with the 1950 Act, Section 3 ensures Abdul keeps that right as if he got it under the new law.

2A landlord named Vikram had his rent officially fixed in 1949 by an order of the government. Section 3 means that this rent remains the same and is considered "fixed" under the new 1950 Act.
