Section 56 Karnataka Land Revenue Act - Revisionary power limited to three years, cannot be overridden by amendment or Limitation Act : SC
A 2014 revision notice cancelling an earlier land-record order was set aside because the Karnataka Land Revenue Act imposes a strict three-year limit on exercising revisionary power, which cannot be extended by subsequent amendments or the Limitation Act. The ruling bars authorities from reviving old cases beyond that period, protecting owners of surveyed lands.
