P.T.P. Kunhamina vs The State Of Kerala on 20 March, 2024
2. A counter affidavit has been filed stating
that the State Land Board has informed the Taluk
Land Board about an apparent error in the order
and there is no illegal exercise of power on the
part of the State Land Board. This Court in
Moideen Kunhi Haji v. State of Kerala, 1987 (2)
KLT 101 have considered the power of the State
Land Board to issue direction to the Taluk Land
Board invoking power under Section 101 (2) and
observed that ordinarily the Land Tribunal,
Appellate Authorities and Taluk Land Board
constituted under the Act have their on
independent statutory functions to discharge,
W.P.(C).No.4248 of 2023 4
uninfluenced by any direction from the Land Board,
and it is doubtful whether the "superintendence"
referred to in Section 101 (2) includes judicial
superintendence, or a power of any other nature to
give directions or place fetters on the Taluk Land
Board in the discharge of their quasi-judicial
function. But it is to be taken note that Section
85 (9A) of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963
empowers the Taluk Land Board to review its own
decision.
