ਚਡ਼੍ਹਾਯਤ

CHAṚHÁYAT

Meaning in English2

s. m, (lit. one who mounts.) A rider; a tenant-at-will, a tenant put in by the landlord to cultivate land for a time-opposed to a búṭmár tenant who clears the land and thereby acquires rights of occupancy in it. The chaṛháyat ordinarily pays an extra rent (aṇwahṇdá) because he has not cleared the land.
