BALU LAXMAN KHATIK(DEAD) THR.LRS. vs BIRU RAMCHANDRA KOTMIRE

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over agricultural lands under the Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961, specifically Sections 32, 32-G, and 33-C. The Court held that the tenant's right to purchase the land was established as the landlord's application for possession was rejected, and the tenant's statement regarding the lease for sugarcane cultivation was significant in determining the applicability of Section 32. The Court upheld the decision of the lower authorities, affirming the tenant's entitlement to purchase the land at the fixed price.
