Enhancement of produce rents of occupancy tenants.— Where the rent of tenant having a right of occupancy in any land is a share of the produce, or of the appraised value thereof, with or without an addition in money, or is paid according to rates fixed with reference to the nature of the crops grown, or is a rent in gross payable in kind, the tenant shall be entitled to occupy the land in that rent. Provided that when the land or any part thereof previously not irrigated or flooded becomes irrigated or flooded, the rent payable in respect of the land or part may, subject to the provisions of this Act, be enhanced to the share of rates, or with reference to the rent in gross, as the case may be, paid by tenants, having a similar right of occupancy, for irrigated or flooded land of a similar description and with similar advantages. Case Law Section 20—The application of the petitioners for recovery of share of produce was that a copy of the jamabandi was not attached with the petition which is mandatory as per the Punjab Tenancy Act—A perusal of the order of the Assistant Collector, 1st Grade clearly indicates that the large number of opportunities were given to the petitioner for filing of the jamabandi which he failed—Application was rightly rejected—Petition dismissed. ; Balbir Singh v.
