Indian Forest Act, 1927
15. Exercise
of rights admitted. -
(1) After making such record the Forest
Settlement-officer shall, to the best of his ability, having due regard to the
maintenance of the reserved forest in respect of which the claim is made, pass
such orders as will ensure the continued exercise of the rights so admitted.
(2) For this purpose the Forest
Settlement-officer may
a) set out some other forest-tract of sufficient extent, and in
a locality reasonably convenient, for the purposes of such claimants, and
record an order conferring upon them a right of pasture or to forest-produce
(as the case may be) to the extent so admitted; or so alter the limits of the
proposed forest as to exclude forest-land of sufficient extent, and in a
locality reasonably convenient, for the purposes of the claimants; or
c) record an order, continuing to such claimants a right of
pasture or to forest-produce, as the case may be, to the extent so admitted, at
such seasons, within such portions of the proposed forest, and under such
rules, as may be made in this behalf by the State Government.
