Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 27 read with Section 55 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, determining that the Custodian General has the authority to exercise revisional jurisdiction against orders made by the Custodian. The Court held that the High Court's decision to remand the matter for fresh consideration was justified, as the Custodian General's earlier dismissal of the revision application was not maintainable. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling.
