Cultivating Tenant
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Cultivating tenant, a person should contribute physical labour to be within the ambit of s. 2(ee) of the said Act, S.N. Sudailaimuthu Chettiar v. Palaniyandaran, AIR 1966 SC 469: (1966) 1 SCR 450. [T.N. Cultivating Tenants Protection Act, 1955 (25 of 1955), s. 2(a)(ee)]
In order to fall within the definition of 'cultivating tenant' a person should carry on personal cultivation which again requires that he should contribute physical labour. The use of physical labour includes physical strain, the use of muscles and sinews. Mere supervision of work, or maintaining of accounts or distributing the wages will not be such contribution of physical labour as to attract the definition, L.R Ganapati Thevar v. N. Devasthanam, AIR 1969 SC 764: (1969) 1 SCR 508. [T.N. Cultivating Tenants Protection Act, 1955 (25 of 1955), s. 2(a)(ee)]
