https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293117 Section 32-F of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act was construed to prevent a tenant's postponed purchase right from being defeated by lack of knowledge of the landlord's cessation of widowhood or disability. The Court held that the statutory period for exercising the right must run from the tenant's knowledge of that cessation, so the right remains workable and effective. It further held that the 1969 amendment and the intimation obligation apply to all Section 32-F(1)(a) categories, not only minors; any contrary limitation was treated as discriminatory and severed to preserve Article 14 equality. Earlier contrary decisions were overruled to the relevant extent. en-us Wed, 18 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:49:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293117 Section 32-F of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act was construed to prevent a tenant's postponed purchase right from being defeated by lack of knowledge of the landlord's cessation of widowhood or disability.
