How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q.1
Q.1: Answer in two sentences
(1)What is the meaning of Farming under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966?[2]
Answer
The Code does not define "farming". It uses the idea of land "held for the purpose of agriculture" throughout, and it defines one related term, "farm building".
Farming in the sense the Code uses. Farming is the use of land for agriculture. It means tilling land to raise crops, grass, fruit or garden produce, with the operations that go with it. A holder of agricultural land is entitled to "erect farm building, construct wells or tanks or make any other improvements" for better cultivation (section 41(1)).
The related definitions.
- Farm building (section 2(9)). A structure on agricultural land for storing implements, manure, fodder or produce, or for sheltering cattle. It may also house the holder's family, servants or tenants, or serve any purpose "integral" to his cultivating arrangement.
- Agriculture (Tenancy Act, section 2(1)). It includes horticulture, raising crops, grass or garden produce, and grazing one's own cattle. It excludes allied pursuits such as dairy and poultry farming.
- Agriculture (Ceiling Act, section 2(1)). For ceiling purposes it expressly includes dairy farming, poultry farming and breeding of livestock.
Why it matters. Land used for farming pays agricultural assessment and needs no conversion. Using it for a shop or factory is a non-agricultural use, which until 2025 needed the Collector's permission (old section 44).
Example. Growing paddy and keeping a cattle shed on the field is farming. Running a hotel on the same land is not.
