THE following question of law has been referred for decision by the Division Bench to the Full Bench: "whether the amount of annual maintenance allowance payable to person entitled to such allowance under sec. 27 of the Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952, should be determined after taking into account the amount of money payable by the Jagirdar to his creditors under the provisions of the Rajasthan Jagirdars Debt Reduction Act, 1956, or not ?"

(2.) THE Board of Revenue which is one of the respondents in the writ petition under Arts. 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India in its order dated 25-10-1962 held that "in fixing the amount for maintenance the question of the Jagirdar's debt does hot find any place under the law" and, therefore, directed the Additional Jagir Commissioner to determine afresh the amount of maintenance which they are entitled to receive in accordance with law.
