Effect of fixing boundary between riverain estates.– (1) Every boundary line fixed in accordance with the provisions of section 123 shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any law, rule of custom or usage, or order or decree of any Court or other authority, be fixed as constant boundary between the estates affected thereby, and the proprietary and all other rights in every holding, field or other portion of an estate situate on each side of the boundary line so fixed, shall, subject to the other provisions of this section, vest in the land-owners of the estate which lies on that side of the boundary line on which such holding, field or other portion of an estate is situate. (2) If, by the operation of sub-section (1), the proprietary or any other rights in any land which at the time a boundary line is fixed is under cultivation, or reasonably fit for cultivation, or yields any produce of substantial value, be transferred from the land-owners and other right-holders of any one estate, to the land-owners of any other estate, the Collector shall, by written order, direct that the rights in such land shall not, subject to the provisions of sections 125, 126 and 127, be so transferred unless and until the land in respect of which any such order is made ceases to be reasonably fit for cultivation, or to yield any produce of substantial value, and upon any such order being made, the transfer of the rights in such land shall be suspended accordingly. (3) When any portion of the land specified in any order made under sub-section (2), ceases to be reasonably fit for cultivation or to yield any produce of substantial value, the order shall, when the Collector, in writing, so directs, cease to operate as to that portion. (4) The decision of the Collector as to whether, for the purposes of sub-section (2), any land is or is not reasonably fit for cultivation or does or does not yield any produce of substantial value, shall be final.
