What is Abadi?
Village residential land - the settled, built-up part of a village.
Abadi land is where houses stand, as opposed to fields. It is outside normal agricultural-tenure rules: it is not entered in the khatauni the same way, and building on it is lawful. Section 143 is how farmland officially becomes abadi.
