Moreshwar Balkrishna Pandare & Ors vs Vithal Vyanku Chavan & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 88D of the Bombay Tenancy & Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, a tenant has an independent right to seek revocation of an exemption certificate, irrespective of the income criteria established in prior proceedings. The Court found that the High Court correctly quashed the order of the Additional Commissioner, which had denied the tenant's application for revocation based on the earlier decision regarding the landlord's income. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order to remand the case for fresh disposal on merits.
