Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Sections 32-F and 32-G of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, holding that a tenant's right to purchase land becomes ineffective if they fail to send the required intimation within the stipulated time frames. The Court confirmed that the tenant's right was forfeited as they did not exercise it by the deadlines set by the amendments, specifically under Section 32-F(1A) as amended by Maharashtra Act 49 of 1969. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's decision regarding the tenant's loss of purchasing rights.
