Issues: Whether the power of review under Section 8B of the Private Forests (Vesting and Assignment) Act, 1971 is controlled by the grounds in Order XLVII, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and whether the Tribunal could review its earlier order on wider grounds.
Analysis: Section 8B requires the Custodian or Government to be satisfied on one of the specified grounds before invoking review, but the provision does not confine the Tribunal's own power of review to those grounds alone. The statutory scheme, including the non obstante language and the purpose of the amendment, shows that the review remedy under the Act is independent of Order XLVII, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The grounds for review are therefore not exhaustive, and the Tribunal may examine review on broader legally recognised grounds such as failure to consider vital material, error apparent on the face of the record, or other sufficient reason. The Tribunal's factual conclusions on the nature of the land and the absence of entitlement to exemption were also upheld.
Conclusion: The power of review under Section 8B is not restricted by Order XLVII, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and the Tribunal's order allowing review was valid.
Final Conclusion: The appeal failed, and the Tribunal's dismissal of the original claim and allowance of review remained undisturbed.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a statute creates a special review power and expressly displaces contrary law, the tribunal's review jurisdiction is not confined to the procedural grounds of the Code of Civil Procedure unless the statute itself so limits it.
