CHHIDDA SINGH vs DY DIRECTOR OF CONSOLIDATION

The Supreme Court dismissed the review petition, emphasizing that the grounds presented were identical to those in the special leave petition, indicating a lack of diligence. The Court reiterated that the order of the Settlement Officer Consolidation, which attained finality under Section 21(2) of the C.H. Act, should not have been disturbed by the Dv. Director of Consolidation, as their powers under Section 48 are limited. The Court held that the Dv. Director acted without jurisdiction, and the review petition was rejected due to its frivolous nature.
