Q. Under the CNT Act, what is land inherited or cultivated from village founder called?
Answer: Khuntkatti raiyat
Notes: The Chota Nagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act, 1908 defines Khuntkatti raiyat as a tenant who inherits land from ancestors or receives it from the village's original founder after clearing jungles for cultivation. The act applies primarily to tribal landholders in Jharkhand and protects their land rights by restricting transfer under Sections 46-49. It differentiates Khuntkatti raiyat from other tenant types like Bhuinhari raiyat, Mul raiyat, or Junglee raiyat.
