Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 32 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, a tenant who is in possession on Tillers' day becomes a 'deemed purchaser' of the land. The Court found that the order declaring the purchase ineffective was invalid as it did not comply with the statutory provisions, and thus the appellant's rights as a deemed purchaser were upheld. The Court reversed the High Court's decision and reinstated the order of the Sub-Divisional Officer in favor of the appellant.
