Section 58

Grounds on Which a Village-service Tenant May Be Ejected.

The Central Provinces Tenancy Act, 1898
(1) A village-service-tenant shall not be ejected from his holding except in execution of an order for ejectment passed by a Revenue-officer on one of the following grounds, namely :--

(a) that the tenant has attempted to effect a transfer of his holding in contravention of section 56, sub-section (2) ;

(b) that the tenant has ceased to render the service which he is bound to render, or has failed to render it properly, or, being unable to render it himself, has failed to provide a competent person to render it as required by section 57 ;

(c) that the tenant has diverted his land to non-agricultural purposes or is chargeable with some other act or omission which, by local custom or the provisions of the village wajib-ul-arz, renders him liable to be dismissed from office ;

(d) that the tenant has resigned, or been dismissed from, his office.

(2) When a village-service-tenant is ejected from his holding under this section, or when he dies or resigns or is dismissed from his office, a Revenue-officer may, subject to any order issued under the proviso to section 56, sub-section (1), place his successor in office in possession of the holding ; and when a village-service-tenant is ejected from, or loses possession of, his holding otherwise than in accordance with his section, a Revenue-officer may reinstate him in the possession of his holding and eject any transferee or trespasser who may be in wrongful possession thereof.
