A.M. Ramanna vs Land Tribunal, Mandya Taluk & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's order allowing a revision petition under Section 121-A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961, which challenged the Appellate Authority's rejection of occupancy rights granted to Thammaiah. The Court emphasized the importance of evidence in tenancy disputes and affirmed that the Appellate Authority's decision to doubt the lease deed's veracity was not justified. Consequently, the Court reinstated Thammaiah's occupancy rights over the disputed land, affirming the lower tribunal's findings.
