It is objected that the suit was not cognizable by the Village Munsif as the claim is for rent of a house and therefore excluded by Clause 6 of Section 13 of the Village Munsif&#8217;s Act. The question is whether the phrase &#8220;rent for land&#8221; in the clause referred to includes house-rent as contended by petitioner. A grant of land, no doubt, includes a house standing on it. But I do not think the word &#8220;land&#8221; as used in the Act can be intended to include houses. As appears from Wharton&#8217;s Law Lexicon p. 418 it required special legislation in England to include houses in the word land as used in Acts of Parliament. The word is not defined in the Village Munsif&#8217;s Act or in the General Clauses Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.
