Declaration that a taxpayer's return is invalid constitutes an actionable directive and is revisable under the tax revision provision; treating a communication of invalidity as not being an "order" was held legally incorrect.

The impugned ruling rejecting revisability was quashed and the revision application was restored for de novo consideration, directing fresh adjudication on merits under the revision mechanism.
