Waste lands
Waste lands, the expression 'waste lands' has a well-defined legal connotation. It means lands which are desolate, abandoned, and not fit ordinarily for use for building purposes. In Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 3rd Edn., Vol. 2, p. 2510, the meaning of the word 'waste' is given as: 1. Waste or desert land, uninhabited or sparsely inhabited and uncultivated country; a wild and desolate region; 2. A piece of land not cultivated or used for any purpose, and producing little or no herbage or wood. In legal use, a piece of such land not in any man's occupation but lying common. 3. A devastated region. In the sequence in which the expression 'waste lands' appears in the two relevant sections, it cannot but have its ordinary etymological meaning as given in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary i.e., land lying desolate or useless, without trees or grass or vegetation, not capable of any use. In Rajanand Brahma Shah v. State of Uttar Pradesh, ((1967) 1 SCR 373: AIR 1967 SC 1081: (1967) 2 SCJ 8...
