Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan City Municipal Appeals (Regulation) Act, 1950, specifically under Section 4(1) proviso, allows the State Government to exercise revisional jurisdiction over orders passed by municipal authorities. The Court clarified that the absence of an appeal mechanism in the Jaipur Municipal Act does not preclude the State from intervening in municipal matters. The High Court's ruling that the President's order was not subject to revision was overturned, affirming the State's authority to set aside such orders.
