https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172971 Section 257 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code was held not to confer an unlimited revisional power merely because no express limitation period is stated. The Court applied the principle that statutory revision must be exercised within a reasonable time, assessed in light of the statutory scheme, the nature of the order, and surrounding facts. A revision initiated after about 17 years was found far beyond any reasonable period, particularly where the original order had remained unchallenged, no fraud was found, and the belated challenge disturbed a long-settled position. The revisional order was therefore unsustainable and the impugned orders were set aside. en-us Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 07:37:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172971 Section 257 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code was held not to confer an unlimited revisional power merely because no express limitation period is stated.
