MARUTI BALA RAUT vs DASHRATH BABU WATHARE & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution by discussing evidence and determining tenancy status, which was the prerogative of the Deputy Collector. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not interfere with the findings of fact established by the lower authorities. Consequently, the Court upheld the Tribunal's decision affirming the Deputy Collector's order regarding the appellant's tenancy claim under the Bombay Tenancy Act, 1939.
