"11. In that view of the matter and taking into consideration the over all view taken by all other Courts, we are of the opinion that the if the Thrasher is attached with the tractor, then it will include as a vehicle. In that view of the matter, we answer the question accordingly. However, we make it clear that if the Thrasher is attached with the tractor, only then it is a motor vehicle and not otherwise, subject to fulfilling other requisite conditions of the Motor Vehicles Act."
