Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923
Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923 (English) (13 & 14 Geo. 5, cc. 9 and 25). By a series of statutes commencing with the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1875, statutory compensation has been provided for an outgoing agricultural tenant in respect of the improvements effected by him during his tenancy. The operation of this Act could be and frequently was excluded by agreement, but now the tenant cannot deprive himself by contract of the right to claim compensation which is conferred on him by the Act, although he may within limits substitute other benefits by agreement. The Act of 1923 (as amended by the Agricultural Holdings Amendment Act, 1923) repeals and consolidates all the earlier statutes dealing with the subject, and confers on outgoing tenants of 'holdings' the rights and benefits briefly outlined below.

Insect-infested
Insect-infested, the expression 'insect-infested' was not defined in the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and has, therefore, to be given its ordinary meaning. The word 'infest' appears to have been derived from the latin word 'infestate' which meant 'to assail or molest'. According to the Oxford English Dictionary (Volume V at page 259) the word 'infest' means 'To attack assail, annoy or trouble (a person or thing) in a persistent manner', 'to visit persistently or in large number for purposes of destruction or plunder', 'to swarm in or about, so as to be troublesome'. In the same dictionary the word 'infestation' is stated to mean: 'The action of infesting, assailing, harassing, or molesting'. It is also mentioned that the word is now used especially for 'insects which attack plants, grain, etc. in large swarms'. Thus an article of food would be 'insect-infested', if it has been attacked by insects in swarms or numbers, Municipal Corporation of Delhi v. Kacheroo Mal, AIR 1976 SC 3...
