Revisional Jurisdiction | Revenue Minister Cannot Set Aside Land Sale Orders Based on Private Contractual Breach : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court struck down the Revenue Minister's order that overturned the cancellation of a land sale permission, ruling that private contractual payment terms cannot override statutory restrictions under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. This reinforces that revisional powers under revenue law are strictly bounded by statutory intent, not private agreements - a critical check on administrative overreach in land transactions involving inam and Occupant Class II lands.
