Bombay High Court ends 20 year land feud rejecting brother tenancy claim over sister’s fields

Court says the brother is family, not tenant

The Bombay High Court has finally settled a decades-long land dispute, rejecting a brother’s bid to be treated as a “deemed tenant” over his deceased sister’s agricultural property. The court held that a brother who cultivates his sister’s land does so as a family member, not under tenant rights, ruling in favor of her adopted son.
