Permanent Settlement gave zamindars proprietary rights and introduced complex revenue-sale and sunset clauses. These legal innovations produced frequent disputes over ownership and arrears, swelling cases in Company courts. The increased litigation was thus due to new legal–revenue provisions, not because any of statements (a)–(c) were introduced; consequently ‘none of the above’ is correct.
