Reserved area and selected area
Reserved area and selected area, the expression 'reserved area' and 'selected area' means the area lawfully reserved under the Punjab Tenants (Security of Tenures) Act, 1950 (Act XXII of 1950), as amended by the President's Act of 1951. Though 'reserved area' has been defined, there is no definition of 'selected area'. This indicates that the Legislature did not introduce a new concept of 'selected area' in the Act. The expressions 'reservation' and 'selection' involve the same process and indeed, to some extent, they are convertible, for one can reserve land by selection and another can select land by reservation, S. Gurbax Singh v. State of Punjab, AIR 1967 SC 502: (1967) 1 SCR 926...
