Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land rights under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, specifically regarding the validity of mutation entries under Section 32 of the Code. The Court held that the mutation entry made in favor of the appellant was valid as it was based on long-term possession and cultivation of the land, and the original owner did not object at the time of the application. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, thereby upholding the appellant's rights to the land in question.
