STATE OF GUJARAT vs PATEL RAGHAV NATHA & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 65 of the Bombay Land Revenue Code, 1879, if the Collector does not inform an applicant of his decision within three months, permission is deemed granted. The Court found that the Commissioner, who set aside the Collector's order over a year later without providing reasons, acted beyond his authority under Section 211. The Court quashed the Commissioner's order, emphasizing the need for timely exercise of revisional powers and the requirement to refer title disputes to a competent court.
