Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of revisions under Sections 218 and 219 of the Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Act, 1901. It held that the Additional Commissioner was not required to refer the case to the Board of Revenue after dismissing the appellant's first revision under Section 218, and thus the subsequent revision under Section 219 was valid. The Court restored the order of the Board of Revenue, emphasizing the proper interpretation of the statutory provisions regarding revisions.
