Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court clarified the interpretation of Sections 33-B and 88-C of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, stating that these sections operate in different fields regarding landlord rights and tenant opposition. The Court held that the death of the original landlord affects the assessment of income and land extent for legal heirs, and thus the matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration. The judgment in Moreshwar Balkrishna Pandare's case was referred to a larger bench for clarification.
