Murugesa Chetti vs Chinnathambi Goundan And Ors. on 29 March, 1901
With great respect I do not agree with the opinion of Bhashyani Aiyangar, J., in Murugesa Chetti v. Chinnathambi Goundan (1901) I.L.R. 24 M. 421 that agriculture implies production of things useful as food for man or beast or other products fit for human consumption by way of luxury. That appears to me to be too narrow an interpretation.

Pavadai Pathan And Anr. vs Ramaswami Chetty And Ors. on 17 March, 1922
That being so, I do not think that the decision in Panadai Pathan v. Ramaswami Chetty (1922) I.L.R. 45 M. 710 concludes this case.

Sri Ravu Seshayya Garu vs The Rajah Of Pittappur, Sri Raja Ravu ... on 24 March, 1916
Speaking with all respect, it seems to me that the definition of the word "agriculture" in Murugesa Chetti v. Chinnathambi Goundan (1901) I.L.R. 24 M. 421 by Sir V. Bhashyam Aiyangar, J. and by Sadasiva Aiyar, J. in Rajah of Venkatagiri v. Ayyappareddi (1913) I.L.R. 38 M. 738 : 25 M.L.J. 578 and Seshayya v. Rajah of Pittapur (1916) 31 M.L.J. 214 could not be accepted for all purposes without qualification. If we look into the recognised dictionaries as to the meaning of the word "agriculture", all that we find is that "agriculture" means "field cultivation" and "cultivation" is said to be "tillage or breaking up the soil".
Devaraja Naicken vs Ammani Ammal on 16 December, 1915
However, so far as the Transfer of Property Act is concerned, it must be remembered that in Devaraja Naicken v. Ammani Animal (1915) 3 L.W. 319, another Bench of this Court, Seshagiri Aiyar and Kumaraswami Sastri, JJ., held that a lease for planting casuarina trees is not a lease for agricultural purposes within the meaning of that Act. That shows that even in regard to the Transfer of Property Act the question is not a very easy one to decide. But what we are concerned here with is, not the Transfer of Property Act, but the Madras Estates Land Act; and, as I think it cannot be denied that in different Acts "agriculture" is used with varying contents and as ordinary educated people use "agriculture" in different senses, the only safe course for us is to try by examining the Madras Estates Land Act itself to ascertain in what sense that word has been used in that Act.
