Land Holder - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition land-holder

Definition :

Land holder, the expression 'landholder' who obviously is a possessor of interest in land means a person to whom rent is payable, and by legal fiction it shall include his predecessor-in-interest as also successor-in-interest to whom the rent was or is payable. It is such definition that will have to be read in the U.P.Z.A. & L.R. Act wherever that expression occurs, Richpal Singh v. Desh Raj Singh AIR 1981 SC 1960: (1982) 1 SCR 368. UPZA & L.R. Act [s. 3(ii)].
