Section 53 of The Ajmer Tenancy and Land Records Act, 1950
A tenant, other than a non-occupancy tenant, who pays fixed money rent may plant on his Molding any tree: Provided that--
- (a)he shall not plant any tree in such a way as to diminish the value of any land, not included in his holding; and
- (b)he shall, in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, continue to be liable to pay the full rent of the holding.
Summary
- Tenants who pay their rent in a fixed amount of money have the right to plant trees on their land.

- The tenant is forbidden from planting trees in a way that lowers the value of any land nearby.
- Unless there is a separate written deal, the tenant must keep paying the full rent even after planting trees.
