B.N. RANGA IYENGAR (D) BY LRS. . vs STATE OF KARNATAKA . — C.A. No. 8885/2013

Summary of C.A. No. 008885/2013 The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by B.N. Ranga Iyengar's legal representatives against the State of Karnataka, finding that lower courts had overlooked a critical 1976 admission by respondent Patel Komaregowda stating he had not cultivated the land or raised any crops—which directly contradicts his claim to tenant status under the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter to the Land Reforms Tribunal, Alur, for a fresh decision considering this overlooked evidence, requesting expeditious disposal given the case's age.
