By this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the impugned judgment and order dated 14.02.2017 passed in Revision Petition No.2. of 2016 by the respondent No.3. The prime contention raised by the petitioner is that the respondent No.3 had no authority vested on him to exercise power of revisional jurisdiction and hence, the passing of the impugned judgment and order is nothing but an abuse of process of law. The learned counsels appearing for the respondents do not dispute the contention that the respondent No.3 had no authority to pass the impugned judgment and order by assuming revisional power. In view of the above, the order dated 14.02.2017 passed in Revision Petition No.2. of 2016 by the respondent No.3 i.e. the Chief Executive Member, Garo Hills Autonomous District Council, Tura, is hereby set aside and quashed. However, the respondent No.7 shall have the liberty to seek redressal of his grievance in accordance with law. The writ petition stands allowed in aforesaid terms.
