DNYANDEO GANPAT JADHAV vs MADHAV VITHAL BHASKAR .

The Supreme Court held that under Section 32 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, a tenant becomes a 'deemed purchaser' of agricultural land if they are in possession on Tillers' Day, which was April 1, 1957 in this case. The Court found that the earlier orders declaring the purchase ineffective were not in compliance with the Act, as the tenant's rights were not properly considered. The Court quashed the High Court's order and reinstated the appellant's claim to the land, affirming the tenant's status as a deemed purchaser.
