PRESENT SYSTEM OF FILING OF CASE The present system for case filing/ instruction of revision case is mostly manual. It is done either in person or through an advocate at the Oath Commissioner or Peskar in the different courts of Board of Revenue. Cases are accepted or rejected based on the scrutiny of applications and documents by the Oath Commissioner or Peskar. Registration of case is carried out at Oath Commissioner/ Peskar level and a registration number is provided to the applicant. The priority for taking up cases depends on the date of the case or in some cases, instructions from the Hon’ble High Court. Following this, the cause list is prepared and notices are sent to the petitioner/ opponent parties physically. Suo motto party, if any, may appear on the date of hearing and may file their document and written statement. After hearing from both the parties, court order may be issued by the authority for next hearing till finalization of case. Interim order issued from higher court, if any, may be taken care of at the time of hearing. The final court order is then communicated to the petitioner/ advocate. At present, there are seventeen Courts under Board of Revenue.
