Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal concerning the entitlement to additional units under Section 6 of the Maharashtra Agricultural Land (Ceiling of Holdings) Act, 1961. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Tribunal's refusal to condone the delay in filing a review petition was not an error of law, emphasizing that such discretion lies with the Tribunal. The appellants failed to raise the issue of family members before the authorities, leading the Court to find no merit in the appeal.
