Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the jurisdiction of the Deputy Secretary under Section 211 of the Bombay Land Revenue Code, 1879, to review the Collector's order is valid, as the Collector is a Revenue Officer whose decisions are subject to appeal under Section 203. The Court clarified that the Deputy Secretary's authority to examine the legality of the Collector's order is consistent with the provisions of the Code. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions and the Collector's partition order.
