DEO KALYA PATIL vs NAGINDAS SHAMJIBHAI SHAH THR. LRS.

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs, as heirs of Kalya Padya Patil, are entitled to the benefits conferred by the B.T. & A.L. Act, asserting their claim to agricultural lands deemed purchased by their predecessor. The Court ruled that the sale transactions post-Tillers Day are void ab initio and that the earlier tenancy proceedings were without jurisdiction. The Court upheld the plaintiffs' right to compensation and land allotment under the CIDCO scheme, granting them an injunction against the defendants from proceeding with land allotments pending the suit's outcome.
