The relevant clause of this proviso, to which I shall also have to advert later, is clause (D) which runs thus : "Provided that a person shall not be deemed to be an 'agriculturist ' if he (D) is a landholder of an estate under the Madras Es tates Land Act, 1908, or of a share or portion thereof in respect of which estate, share or portion any sum exceeding Rs. 500 is paid as peshkash or any sum exceeding Rs. 100 is paid as quit rent, jodi, kattubadi, 812 poruppu or the like or is a janmi under the Malabar Tenancy Act, 1929, who pays any sum exceeding Rs. 500 as land reve nue to the Provincial Government. ' ' The precise question which is said to arise with refer ence to this provision is whether by reason of being the owners of village Tedlam, the judgment debtors should be held to be not entitled to relief under the Act.
