According to Section 51 of Transfer of Property Act, 1882, when the transferee of immovable property has planted or sown on the property crops, believing in good faith that he is absolutely entitled thereto, and he is subsequently evicted there from by any person having a better title, the transferee has a right to require the person causing the eviction to have such crops and to free ingress and egress to gather and carry them. Option (2) is incorrect: A is entitled to whole of the crops. Option (3) is incorrect: A is not entitled to land in his favour. Option (4) is incorrect: A is not entitled to an amount employee.
