The explanation and exception of the provision of law referred by you is given below:

^Explanation.—The expression 'land held under a lease' includes any land held

directly under the State under a lease.

''Exception.—In the case of land allowed to be retained by an intermediary or

lessee in respect of a tea-garden, such land may include any land comprised in a

forest if, in the opinion of the Slate Government, the land comprised in a forest is required for the tea-garden.

The law states that:

In the case of land comprised in a tea-garden, mill, factory or *' workshop the intermediary, or where such land is held under a lease, the lessee, shall be entitled to retain only so much of .such land as, in the opinion of the Slate Government, is required for the tea-garden, mill, factory or workshop, as the case may be, and a person holding under a lease shall,for the purpose of assessment of compensation, be deemed to be an intermediary.

Your question is not clear and it could not be understood that what is your exact problem.

You may revert so that more proper opinion can be given to clarify your all doubts in this regard.
