Section 257 Maharashtra Land Revenue Code | Executive Instructions Cannot Retrospectively Invalidate Occupancy Class-I Conversion Order : Bombay HC

The ruling underscores the limited jurisdiction of revenue authorities in contractual disputes and reinforces the finality of duly issued conversion orders, protecting landowners from arbitrary administrative reversals.
