Ramesh Ramnarayan Dangare vs Vithabai W/O Bhausaheb Wakchaure & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the findings of the competent authority regarding the appellant's status as an agriculturist under Section 84-C of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, were binding and could not be disregarded by the Tribunal. The Court found that the Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction by re-evaluating evidence and reversing the order of the appellate authority, which was affirmed by the High Court. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeals and set aside the orders of the Tribunal and the High Court.
