STATE OF RAJASTHAN Vs. KAUSHALYA DEVI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ petition and the writ petitions mentioned in Schedule -A appended with this order, having common question of law, are decided by this common order.

(2.) ALL these petitions have been filed by the State of Rajasthan through the Commissioner Colonisation, Bikaner, challenging the impugned order passed by the Board of Revenue allowing the revision petition filed by the respondents in whose favour the land was allotted by the Assistant Colonisation Commissioner under Rule 13 -A of the Rajasthan Colonisation (Allotment and Sale of the Government Land in the Indira Gandhi Colony Area) Rules, 1975 (for short, 'the Rules') and the order passed by the Board of Revenue rejecting subsequent review petitions filed by the State.

(3.) THESE petitions are labelled as petitions under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India but strictly speaking these petitions are under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the scope for which is very narrow and limited. As held by the Supreme Court in Mohd. Yunus v. Mohd. Mustkim : [1984]1SCR211 even the error on law committed by the Courts below cannot be corrected by this Court in exercise of its supervisionary powers under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.
