4.4 Legal Provisions on Land Cultivation

The Code's cultivation chapter (the Ain's batai tradition modernized): the landowner-cultivator relations; the sharecropping/lease arrangements (the adhiya/bataiya forms); the parties' reciprocal duties (the cultivator's husbandry, the owner's non-interference; the crop-share and rent discipline); the mortgaged-land cultivation questions; beside the Land Act 2021's tenancy regime (the registered mohi's security — U6.1). The critical study: the unregistered tenants' informality — the Code's contract framework reaching only the documented relations; the agricultural productivity debate.
