210. Knowledge Spectrum – Discipline – APPEAL, REVISION AND REVIEW
380. Is there any time limit for revision?
Rule 29(1) (v) restricts the time for review in respect of Appellate Authority as six months from the date of the order proposed to be reviewed.
In respect of any other authority for whom the powers of revision are conferred by the general or special order of the President, time limit will be as mentioned in the above order:
381. What are the distinguishing features between review and revision?
While the authorities competent to conduct revision are mentioned in Rule 29, power of review has been vested only with the President under Rule 29-A
While revision can be carried out by on own motion or otherwise, there is a condition precedent for review viz. that it must be based on new material which could not be produced or was not available at the time of passing the order under review.
382. What is the nature of new material which justifies review?
Review will be justified only if the new material has the effect of changing the nature of the case.
383. What are the possible outcomes of review?
Rule 29A provides that under the conditions prescribed in Rule 29-A, the President may review any order. The scope of the power of review has not been elaborated. Hence it must be assumed hat President has full powers to pass appropriate orders in the matter. Proviso to Rule 29-A makes it amply clear that the power, of review includes the power of imposing and enhancing penalty subject to provision of reasonable opportunity.
