1. In order to appreciate the question of law that is raised in this writ appeal, we may notice a few relevant facts. The second respondent is the owner of two blocks of land; one measuring an extent of 1.32 acres and comprised in S. Nos. 57/182, 47/4, 56/1 and 55/2 in Siruvanur village, North Arcot Df. The other block is an extent of 2.02 acres and Comprised in S. Nos. 56/2, 56/3, 56/4, 56/6 and 250/2 in the same village. The appellant filed an application under Section 4(2) of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Land Records of Tenancy Rights Act 10 of 1968, hereinafter referred to as the Act, for inclusion of his tenancy over these two blocks of lands in the approved records of tenancy rights relating to Siruvanur village. It was on the ground that under Ex. B10, dated 14.10.1971, the first block of land was leased to the appellant for a cash rent of Rs. 3,000 for a period of five years, which worked out of Rs. 600 per year and the second block under Ex. P11 for a period of five years, for a cash rent of Rs. 900 per year. This application was resisted before the Tahsildar on the ground that subsequent to these lease deeds, the landlady borrowed a sum of Rs. 5,925
