Section 149:
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.
