Panpoi Dharmal Sansthan Dhotarkherda vs Bhagwant S/O Maroti Dhakulkar And Ors. on 17 August, 1989
4] Mr.Mandlik, learned counsel appearing for the respondent
vehemently opposed the petition. He submitted that the petitioners
preferred application under Section 32G of MTAL Act on 17/09/1991
i.e. after a laps of about more than 25 years from the date of death of
Shripati G. Tikande in the year 1963. He submitted that, on the date of
filing of the application by the petitioners i.e. on 17/09/1991 under
Section 32G of MTAL Act, the Respondent-Trust was already registered
on 17/07/1991 and therefore, the provisions of Section 88B(1)(b) of
MTAL Act has application to the present proceedings. He submitted that,
the application preferred by the petitioners under Section 32G was not
within the reasonable period and therefore is barred by limitation. He

however fairly conceded to the fact that, the decision of Full Bench of
this Court in the case of Panpoi Dharmal Sansthan Dhotarkherda Vs.
Bhagwant s/o. Maroti Dhakulkar & Others, reported in [1989 Mh.L.J.
710] taking the said view has been set-aside by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in the case of Panpoi Dharmal Sansthan Dhotarkherda Vs.
Bhagwant & Others, reported in (2000) 9 SCC 307. He submitted that,
the adjudication of tenancy of the petitioners under Section 40 or under
Section 70(B) of MTAL Act was not undertaken by the concerned
authority, i.e. ALT, either on an application filed by the petitioners or
suo-moto and therefore for want of declaration of the petitioners as
tenants, their claim for fixing price of suit land under Section 32G
cannot be entertained. He further submitted that, the Revenue Tribunal
after considering the necessary and relevant provisions of law has rightly
passed the impugned Order dated 06/07/1998 and therefore,
interference by this Court in it is not necessary. He therefore prayed
that, the present petition may be dismissed.

7] The Division Bench of this Court in the case of Chhatrapati
Ccharitable Devasthan Trust Vs. Parisa Appa Bhoske & Others, reported in
[1979 Mh.L.J. 1633], by relying on the decision in the case of Sri
Laxminarayan Temple (supra), while analyzing the provisions of Section
88B of MTAL Act and 32 of the Bombay Trusts Act (Maharashtra Trusts
Act) has held that, a trust is not entitled to the exemption till it fulfills
the two requirements mentioned in the proviso of Section 88B of MTAL
Act. It is further held that, a trust may be created after Section 88B came
into effect and still the land owner would be entitled to exemption, even
by that section. A trust however cannot claim an exemption under that
section in respect of land which had already become property of the
tenant before the right of exemption was acquired by the trust.
8] As noted above and at the cost of repetition, it is to be
mentioned here that, Shripati G. Tikande was declared to be a protected
tenant in the year 1950 and continued to be a protected tenant after the
incorporation of Section 4A in the MTAL Act, which was inserted by way
of Amendment Act 13 of 1956. The petitioners being successors in title
of Shripati G. Tikande, their names have been entered into revenue

records in the year 1965 by effecting Mutation Entry No. 10852. In view
of the ratio laid down by this Court in the aforestated decisions, the
contention of the respondent that, the provisions of Section 88B are
applicable to the present case cannot be accepted and it is held that, the
Revenue Tribunal has clearly erred in accepting the contention of the
respondent in that behalf.
