Section 8 of OEA : Section 8: Preparation Of Lists Of Taluqdars And Grantees

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where after the enactment of The Oudh Estates Act in 1869, Mr. Sharma, a resident of the Oudh region, claims to be a Taluqdár, a type of landowner recognized under the Act. To verify his claim and ascertain his rights, the Chief Commissioner of Oudh is directed to create a list of all recognized Taluqdárs within six months.

Mr. Sharma's estate has historically passed to a single heir, which aligns with the customs before February 13, 1856. Therefore, his name would appear in the second list, ensuring that his estate would continue to be inherited by a single heir, as per the tradition of his family.

By appearing on this list, Mr. Sharma's estate succession would be officially recognized under the Act, and his status as a Taluqdár would be confirmed, providing legal clarity for future inheritance matters.
