Deo Kalya Patil & Ors vs Nagindas Shamjibhai Shah Thr. Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over agricultural land ownership under the B.T. & A.L. Act, specifically examining the rights of tenants and deemed purchasers. The Court held that the plaintiffs, as heirs of Kalya Padya Patil, were entitled to the benefits conferred by the Act, including compensation and land allotment under the 12.5% scheme. The Court also ruled that previous sale transactions post-Tillers Day were void ab initio and that the trial court's injunction against CIDCO's allotment was valid, thereby upholding the plaintiffs' claims.
