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 lower tribunals was not subject to interference under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court found that the appellants failed to prove their tenancy rights over the scheduled land, thus upholding the High Court's decision to reject their claim for occupancy rights. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
