Judgment S. B. Sinha, J. 1. In this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the orders as contained in Annexures 1,2 and 3 to the writ petition passed by respondent Nos.4, 3 and 2 respectively. By reason of the aforementioned orders the said respondents directed that the lands bearing plot No.647 appertaining to khatian No.148 measuring an area of 81 decimals of plot Nos.778 of village karge, P. S. Mandar, District Ranchi be resorted in favour of respondent No.1 in purported exercise of their power conferred under Sec.71-A of the chotanagpur Tenancy Act. 2. In this case, the facts are short and not in dispute. On 14-2-1945, the fattier of respondent No.1 surrendered the aforementioned lands in favour of landlords and, thereafter a fresh settlement was granted by the landlord in favour of petitioner, Respondent Nos.3 and 4 while pasting orders as contained in Annexures 2 and 3 to the writ petition held that the settlement having been made with a period of one month from the date of surrender, the surrender and settlement is part of same transaction and as such the same being a transfer having been made in contravention of the provisions of section 46 of the Chotanagpur tenancy Act, respondent No.1 was entitled to get lands restored in his favour in terms of the provisions of Sec.71-A thereof. However, as this writ petition is being disposed of on a short question, I need not consider the question as to whether surrender made on 14-2-1945 and the subsequent settle-ment dated 10-3-l945 was a part of the same transaction or not. Suffice it to say that only because a settlement is made after one month or even after a few days of the surrender, it does not necessarily mean that the surrender and the settlement would form part of the same transaction. The question as to whether a surrender and subsequent settlement would form part of the same transaction or not, would depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case and has got to be decided on the basis of materials on record. However, in the instant case, it appears that respondent No.4 refused to entertain the revision only on the ground that there were concurrent findings of act by the courts below. 3. The power of revision is contained in Sec.217 of the Chotanagpur tenancy Act. However, in the instant case, it appears that respondent No.4 refused to entertain the revision only on the ground that there were concurrent findings of act by the courts below. 3. The power of revision is contained in Sec.217 of the Chotanagpur tenancy Act. Sec.217 reads as follows : "bar to further appeals with proviso for revision by Board or Commissioner orders passed by the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner in appeals preferred under Sec.215 shall not be open to soy further appeal : But the Board or (in the case of appeal decided by the Deputy Commissioner), the Commissioner any call for the case and pass such orders thereon as it or he may think proper. " 4. Form a perusal of the aforementioned provision it would appear that the same confers upon the revisional authority a very wide power to entertain a revision application and in doing so he could not only correct the errors of law but also correct the errors of fact. There is no doubt that the scope of appeal and revision is different. Although eved in terms of provision of Sec.217 of the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act a revision cannot be treated as an apeal, but that does not mean that the revisional authority is not entitled to take into considera-tion the gross errors of fact committed by the courts below. In my opinion, the provision of Sec.217 confers upon the revisional authority a very wide power which is not circumscribed by any statutory limitations. As the Commissioner does not appear to have applied his mind with regards to existence of his own power and/or jurisdiction, in the interest of justice, the order as contained in annexure-3 to the writ petition, must be set aside and the matter is remitted to the Commissioner for fresh decision in accordance with law. The Commissioner while hearing the case shall apply his mind to the scope of Sec.217 of the chotanagpur Tenancy Act as stated hereinbefore. It is needless to State that wherever Legislature intended that the jurisdiction of the revisional authority should be curbed to a certain extent, the same is specifically mentioned in the legislation itself. In this connection, reference may be made to the provision of Sec.115 of the Code of Civil Procedure wherein a statutory limitation has been imposed on the power of the High Court to entertain a revision application. In this connection, reference may be made to the provision of Sec.115 of the Code of Civil Procedure wherein a statutory limitation has been imposed on the power of the High Court to entertain a revision application. No such limitation having been imposed upon the revisional authority under section 217 of the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act, the revisional authority must consider the revision applications filed before it in their proper perspective. 5. In the result, the order as contained in Annexure-3 is quashed and the revision application is allowed. Respondent No.4 is directed to admit the revision application and pass a speaking order with regards to the merit of the case. In the circumstances of the case, there will be no order as to costs.
