G B KASHIRSAGAR vs L A NARODE

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 31C of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, in the context of a tenant's eviction. The Court held that a compromise order under Section 31 does not constitute a formal order that would invoke the protections of Section 31C, which bars eviction for personal cultivation. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, affirming the tenant's right to retain the land based on the statutory protections afforded to tenants under the Act.
