Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the delegation of judicial powers under Section 68 of the Bombay City Corporation Act to an officer was valid, despite the officer's decisions being subject to the Commissioner's control and revision. The Court clarified that while judicial powers can be delegated, the terms 'control' and 'revision' in this context pertain to administrative oversight rather than the imposition of the Commissioner's decisions. Consequently, the order of the Bombay City Civil Court, which deemed the delegation improper, was overturned.
