As such, this petition.

¶21

Submissions are, once the old revenue records of 1966 speaks of the possession of the petitioners over the land in question, the respondent-Awwal Karkoon has rightly described the petitioners as tenant. According to him, once the frst authority has appreciated the evidence in favour of petitioners. Just because diferent view was possible, the Sub-Divisional Ofcer in exercise of appellate powers ought not to have reversed the fndings. He would then urge that the Tribunal has committed an error in re-appreciating the evidence in its revisional jurisdiction. As such, it is prayed that the petition be allowed.

¶22

Learned counsel for the respondents and learned AGP supports the order impugned.

Considered rival submissions.

¶24

Apart from the fact that Appellate Authority i.e. the Sub-Divisional Ofcer has recorded a fnding of fact that the petitioners cannot be declared as tenants for the land in question based on undisputed relationship between the petitioners and the respondents. Considering

¶26

the embargo under section 4 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 ('the Act' for short), the fnding of fact is recorded by the Appellate Authority i.e. the Sub-Divisional Ofcer that the petitioners have no right to claim their status as that of tenants.

¶27

The fndings of fact are not disputed by the petitioners before the Maha rashtra Revenue Tribunal and also before this Court.

¶28

In the aforesaid backdrop and having regard to the concurrent fndings recorded by the Appellate Authority and the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, in my opinion, no case for interference is made out. The petition fails and is dismissed.
