Ambadas Sitaram More vs Murlidhar Digamber And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, which ruled that the tenant was not entitled to purchase the lands under the Bombay Tenancy & Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 due to exceeding the ceiling limits established by the Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961. The Court noted that the partition of the tenant's family land was a device to circumvent the provisions of the Tenancy Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the tenant's challenge, emphasizing the Tribunal's findings regarding the tenant's land holdings were not erroneous.
