Sampati Govind Bhil.(D) Tr.His Lrs vs Sudam Bapu Warik

The Supreme Court upheld the provisions of Section 32F(1A) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, emphasizing that a tenant must provide notice of intent to purchase the land they occupy. The Court clarified that the right of the landlord under Section 31 is distinct from the tenant's right under Section 32F, and non-compliance with Section 32F(1A) results in the tenant losing the right to purchase. The judgment affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, reinforcing the mandatory nature of the notice requirement.
