Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal concerning the interpretation of Section 32G of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, regarding the determination of land price and lease agreements. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, which found that the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal had improperly overturned the Sub-Divisional Officer's factual findings that the land was not leased for sugarcane cultivation. The Court clarified that the findings of fact consistent with evidence cannot be dislodged by a revisional authority, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling and the original order of the Sub-Divisional Officer.
