The definition of 'Mesne Profits' is provided in Section 2(12) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. It defines mesne profits of property as "those profits which the person in wrongful possession of such property actually received or might with ordinary diligence have received therefrom, together with interest on such profits, but shall not include profits due to improvements made by the person in wrongful possession." It is essentially compensation for the wrongful occupation of property.
