Definition :

Entitled, the word 'entitled' in the context must take colour from the preceding words and must be understood to mean that the Government must have an independent claim or right to the forest produce and not merely a right to collect and deal with the same subject to an obligation to account for the same to the owner. The word 'entitled' is used in the sense of the Government having a right or claim to the usufruct in its own right and not as the agent of another, Raj Kumar Rajindra Singh v.
