Section 32 Maharashtra Tenancy Act | Tiller’s Day (1 April 1957) Deemed Purchase Irreversible Despite Subsequent Transfers : Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court ruled that a tenant’s deemed purchase under Section 32 of the Maharashtra Tenancy Act, fixed on the statutory 'tiller’s day' of 1 April 1957, remains valid and cannot be nullified by later property transfers or invalidation of Section 88C certificates. This decision reinforces the irrevocable nature of statutory tenancy rights once vested, impacting landowners, tenants, and revenue authorities in Maharashtra.
