Santoshkumar Shivgonda Patil & Ors vs Balasaheb Tukaram Shevale & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 257 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, determining that the power of revision can be exercised at any time despite the absence of a prescribed time limit. The Court held that the legal heirs of a deceased tenant could seek revision of an order affecting their rights, even after a significant delay, as long as the revision is justified. The Court upheld the decisions of the lower authorities that reinstated the rights of the deceased tenant's heirs over the disputed land.
