1 D.B.Civil Special Appeal No.1348/2008 Tapan Dev Mahawar V/s Rameshwar Prasad Bairwa & ors. 13.8.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr.R.N.Mathur for the appellant. Heard Mr.R.N.Mathur, learned counsel for the appellant. This appeal is directed against the order dated 30th June, 2008 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in exercise of its power under Article 226 of the Constitution whereby and whereunder the writ application was summarily dismissed. Power exercised by the Collector of a District under section 80(2) of the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 1959 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) was challenged in writ jurisdiction of this Court. The writ application however was dismissed virtually on the ground of delay and laches. Any decision taken in exercise of power under section 80(2) of the Act is subject to jurisdiction of the State Government under section 300 of the Act where the State Government is empowered to call for the record and examine the same and thereafter, may reverse or modify such an order passed by the authorities mentioned in Section 300. The Collector is one of the authorities mentioned in Section 300 of the Act. Obviously therefore the power so exercised by the Collector under section 80(2) of the Act would be subject to the power of review of the State Government under section 300 of the Act. 2 The appellant, in view of this provision, may invoke the jurisdiction of the State Government to rectify the order passed by the Collector under section 80(2) of the Act. This appeal in that view of the matter is dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Narayan Roy)C.J. Parmar
