https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=120351 Section 85(9) of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963 permitted the Taluk Land Board to reopen its earlier order and proceed afresh where the statutory grounds were met, subject to hearing affected persons and the applicable period of finality. A revision dismissed at the threshold for delay, without any decision on merits, did not amount to affirmance of the challenged order, so the doctrine of merger did not apply. The Board's earlier order therefore did not merge with the High Court's dismissal, and the Board retained jurisdiction to reopen the matter. en-us Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 16:42:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=120351 Section 85(9) of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963 permitted the Taluk Land Board to reopen its earlier order and proceed afresh where the statutory grounds were met, subject to hearing affected persons and the applicable period of finality.
