STATE OF ORISSA AND ORS. vs ARAKHITA BISOI

The Supreme Court held that Section 59(1) of the Orissa Land Reforms Act allows the Collector to revise any order, including appellate orders under Section 44. The Court emphasized that the intention of the legislature was to ensure that errors or irregularities in the determination of excess lands by the Revenue Officer could be rectified by higher authorities. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that there is no conflict between Sections 44 and 58 regarding the finality of orders, and clarified that the amendment to Section 44(3) does not restrict the revisionary powers granted under Section 59(1).
