Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, affirming that the Appellant was a deemed tenant under Section 6 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands (Vidarbha Region) Act, 1958. The Court found that the Appellant had been lawfully cultivating the agricultural lands and thus entitled to protection against eviction. The judgment of the Bombay High Court was set aside, and the Appellant's rights as a tenant were recognized, ensuring his continued possession of the lands.
