RAMESH RAMNARAYAN DANGARE vs VITHABAI

The Supreme Court held that the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal's order, which set aside the earlier findings regarding the appellant's status as an agriculturist, was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the earlier determination under Section 84-C of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, which declared the appellant an agriculturist, was final and unchallenged. The Court reversed the Tribunal's decision, affirming the validity of the sale deeds and lease agreements executed in favor of the appellant, thereby upholding the appellant's rights to the land in question.
