Agents or mookhtars.

     Any person may practise as an agent or mookhtar in a Court held by a Collector under this Act without any formal license from the Collector. But it shall be competent to the Collector to prohibit any person, who has been convicted by a competent Court of a criminal offence, or who has been found guilty of fraudulent or dishonest conduct in the discharge of his duty as agent or mookhtar, to practice as an agent or mookhtar in his Court. When any agent or mookhtar is charged by the Collector or any other person with fraudulent or dishonest conduct in the discharge or his duty, the Collector shall proceed in the manner prescribed in Section IV Act XVIII of 1852, or any other law for the time being in force the trial of charges against pleaders.
