Babu Parasu Kaikadi (Dead) By Lrs vs Babu (Dead), Through Lrs

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 32(1B) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, regarding the validity of voluntary surrender of tenancy not complying with Sections 15 and 29 of the Act. The Court held that such a surrender is invalid and non-est, emphasizing that the relationship of landlord and tenant is strictly governed by the provisions of the Act. Consequently, the Court set aside the order of the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal and restored the appellant's possession of the land in question.
