1[80A. Assumption of management of land which remained uncultivated.- (1) Where it appears to the State Government that for any two consecutive years, any holding by reason of any default of the holder or any other cause whatsoever not beyond his control has remained uncultivated, or the full and efficient use of the holding has not been made for the purpose of agriculture, the State Government may, after making such inquiry as it thinks fit, declare that the management of such holding shall be assumed by Government, and thereupon the Government shall assume the management accordingly. The declaration so made shall be conclusive. (2) On the assumption of management as aforesaid, the holding shall vest in the State Government during the continuance of the management and thereupon the foregoing provisions of this Chapter shall apply mutatis mutandis as they apply in relation to a holding, the management of which is assumed under section 62: Provided that, the Manager may in suitable cases give such holding on lease at rent even equal to the amount of the assessment thereof: Provided further that, where the management of a holding has been assumed under sub-section (1) due to default of the tenant, the tenant shall cease to have any right or privilege under Chapter II or III, as the case may be, in respect of such holding with effect from the date on which such management has been assumed.]
