Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's exercise of revisional jurisdiction under Section 121A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1974, to set aside concurrent findings of fact by the Tribunals was not subject to interference under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the appellants failed to prove their tenancy rights over the scheduled land, as claimed, and upheld the High Court's decision rejecting their application for occupancy rights. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
