Y.B. PATIL AND ORS. vs Y.L. PATIL

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' writ petition under Articles 226 and 227, affirming the findings of the Mysore Revenue Appellate Tribunal regarding the ownership of watan lands under the Bombay Hereditary Officers Act, specifically Sections 11, 11A, and 12. The Court ruled that the Tribunal correctly determined that the watan had been acquired by Basangouda II, thereby establishing the appellants as strangers to the lands in question. The Court emphasized that the High Court could not interfere with concurrent findings of fact made by lower authorities.
