GOVINDA BALA PATIL (D) BY LRS. vs GANPATI RAMCHANDRA NAIKWADE (D) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 32G of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, the determination of the purpose of lease is crucial. The Court found that the High Court correctly upheld the Sub-Divisional Officer's finding that the land was not leased for sugarcane cultivation, thereby affirming the principle that findings of fact consistent with evidence cannot be overturned by the Tribunal. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the High Court's order.
