CORAM

: AMIT BORKAR, J.

DATED : MARCH 20, 2025 P.C.:

1.

Challenge in this writ petition arises out of proceedings under Section 88B of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948. The Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, by the impugned judgment and order, has remanded the proceedings back to the Tehsildar by observing that certain relevant aspects in relation to inquiry under Section 88B have not been properly considered by the Authorities.

2.

Considering the reasons assigned in the judgment, in my opinion, no interference in the impugned order is called for.

The petitioner shall appear before the Collector, Satara, on 1 April 2025 at 10.30 a.m.

5.

The writ petition, accordingly, stands disposed of. No costs. (AMIT BORKAR, J.)
