Remand Order Jurisdiction | Subordinate Authority Cannot Exceed Scope of Inquiry Under Maharashtra Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act : Bombay HC

Bombay High Court quashes a Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal order for exceeding the scope of a remand, emphasizing that subordinate authorities must confine their inquiry strictly to the issue directed by the appellate order. The ruling reinforces jurisdictional limits under the Maharashtra Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974, and Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, impacting land dispute resolutions and administrative law proceedings.
