B. R. Ambedkar won the Mahad Satyagraha case in the Bombay High Court.

On 20 March 1927, Babasaheb Ambedkar led thousands of Dalits to the Chavdar Tank at Mahad and drank water from it, challenging the practice of untouchability and asserting their right to access public resources.

In December 1927, caste Hindus filed a lawsuit claiming that the Chavdar Tank was private property and obtained a temporary injunction from a local court to prevent Dalits from accessing it.

On 17 March 1937, the Bombay High Court ruled in Narhari Damodar Vaidya vs. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and Others, where Justices John Beaumont Broomfield and N. J. Wadia dismissed the appeal of caste Hindus over the Chavdar Tank dispute.

The court held that the tank was a public water source, and therefore no community could be legally excluded from using it on the basis of caste.
