Section 35 of The Central Provinces Land-Revenue Act, 1881 in hindi

When any local area is under settlement and Settlement-officers have been invested with the powers mentioned in section thirty-three in such local area, the Chief Commissioner may, with respect to all or to any of the suits specified in that section, declare that all or any of the decrees and orders passed in exercise of the powers of Courts of the first four grades aforesaid, by Assistant Commissioners or Tahsildars not being Settlementofficers, shall be appealable to the Chief Settlement-officer, and not to the Deputy Commissioner of the district.

Summary

This rule redirects judicial appeals for specific land and rent lawsuits during an active area settlement.
It allows the government to route appeals from regular junior officers directly to the Chief Settlement-officer instead of the usual district leader.
This change applies to court orders made by Assistant Commissioners or Tahsildars who are not officially part of the settlement team.
The redirection only takes effect if settlement officers in that region have already been granted civil court powers.

Practical examples

1A regular Tahsildar settles a dispute over village pasture rent, and a farmer decides to appeal. Because of a government declaration, the farmer must send his appeal to the Chief Settlement-officer instead of the district Deputy Commissioner.

2An Assistant Commissioner issues an order regarding unpaid estate profits, but the losing party sends their appeal to the wrong office because they did not realise the new settlement rules routed appeals to the lead settlement official.
