Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that Section 221 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 grants the Board of Revenue general powers of superintendence and control over all revenue courts, encompassing both administrative and judicial powers. The Court clarified that the Board can intervene if a subordinate court acts illegally or disregards specific provisions of law. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Board's authority to set aside the SDO's order and remand the case for fresh determination of the ceiling area, as the Board's powers are not restricted by other provisions of the Act.
