1993 (2) TMI 331 - SC - Indian Laws

Issues involved: Tenancy rights dispute, condonation of delay in filing special leave petitions, effect of dismissal of special leave petitions on civil appeal.

In the present case, the appellant filed an application claiming to be a tenant of certain lands, which was contested by another party leading to multiple revenue cases and subsequent appeals. The Addl. Tahsildar initially accepted the appellant's claim but on appeal, it was held that the ownership belonged to a different party, resulting in the rejection of the appellant's claim. Subsequent revisions and writ petitions were also dismissed by the Revenue Tribunal and High Court respectively.

Regarding the delay in filing special leave petitions challenging the High Court's order, the Supreme Court found no sufficient cause to condone the delay, leading to the dismissal of the special leave petitions as time-barred. This dismissal had a direct impact on the tenability of the Civil Appeal filed by the appellant. The Court noted that since the special leave petitions related to other writ petitions were dismissed, any interference in the Civil Appeal would result in conflicting orders regarding tenancy rights, thus necessitating the dismissal of the Civil Appeal as well.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court dismissed both the special leave petitions and the Civil Appeal due to the lack of grounds for condonation of delay and the potential for conflicting orders on tenancy rights in the disputed lands.
