Definition :

Sugarcane, in Webster's dictionary 'sugar-cane' has been defined as 'a grass extensively grown in tropical and warm regions for its sugar' and in Oxford dictionary it is defined as 'a fall perennial grass cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical countries and forming the chief source of unmanu-factured sugar'. Therefore it cannot be said that sugar-cane falls within the definition of the words 'green vegetables', Motipur Zamindary Co. (Pvt.) Ltd. v.
