The Court held that the definitions provided in the Act are crucial for determining the rights of both landlords and tenants, emphasizing the need for compliance with statutory notice requirements for tenancy termination. The Court ultimately upheld the rights of the tenants under the Act, reinforcing the legislative intent to protect agricultural tenants.
