SAMPATI GOVIND BHIL.(D) TR.HIS LRS. vs SUDAM BAPU WARIK

The Supreme Court upheld the applicability of Section 32F(1A) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, emphasizing that a tenant must provide notice of intention to purchase the land they occupy. The Court clarified that the provisions of Section 32F are independent of Section 31, establishing that failure to comply with Section 32F(1A) results in the tenant not exercising their right to purchase. The appeal against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was dismissed, affirming the mandatory nature of the notice requirement.
