Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision directing authorities to fix the purchase price of land under Section 32(G) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948. The Court affirmed that tenants who were in possession of the land on 'Tillers Day' are deemed to have purchased the land, and the authorities must determine the price accordingly. The judgment clarified the application of the 1948 Act and reinforced the rights of tenants under the statute.
