            There were following aspects in Batten 20 Years settlement (Dabral from Vishnu Singh Rawat documents) –

It was necessary for owners written agreements for becoming a Malgujar. The words as Paukast and Sitani (Sirtan) were started written on agreement record or Kaul -Karar Patta. There were four dates for paying tax installments.

          Malgujar had to pay tax in case the owners did not pay taxes. Later on, Malgujar could collect tax amicably or through court.

  Malgujar did not have rights for collecting tax in advance.

 There were records for Bemap or unmeasured land and forests of the village in Kaul-Karar Patta.  In case, in past, nearby villages used the land of another village for wood, grass or cattle grazing, the situation was kept ‘Status Quo’.  

  Malgujar had to arrange collies for Kuli Godam and collie for postal works.
