The competent authority is treated as acting in a quasi-judicial capacity, since the statutory scheme requires notice, hearing, consideration of objections, and inquiry powers similar to a civil court. The article notes that the Supreme Court rejected the view that the authority is merely an administrative arm and stated that statutory appeals may be maintained against such dropped proceedings. en-us Fri, 14 Dec 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 16:31:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187187 An order dropping eviction proceedings under Section 4 of the Bombay Government Premises (Eviction) Act, 1955 is appealable under Section 7 because the phrase "every order" covers any determination made by the competent authority, including termination of proceedings.
