Definition :

Extend, to value the lands, etc., of one bound by a statute, who has forfeited his bond, at their yearly value, so that it may be known when the creditor will be paid his debt. See EXTENT.

To extend means to enlarge, expand, lengthen, prolong to carry out further than its original limit. Thus extension ordinarily implies the continued existence of something to be extended. In other words, the word 'extension' when used in its proper and usual sense in connection with a lease means a prolongation of the lease, Provash Chandra Dalui v.
