Detailed Legal Analysis
A revision petition lies before the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission or the National Commission under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 depending on the forum that passed the order. The Calcutta High Court has held that revision jurisdiction is limited to jurisdictional errors or gross irregularities, not reappreciation of evidence.
You must demonstrate that the lower forum failed to consider material evidence or applied the law incorrectly. The limitation period is thirty days from the date of the order under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997.
The revisional forum may remand the matter back for fresh hearing if procedural fairness was violated. Filing in Darjeeling requires submitting the revision at the appropriate registry of the State Commission.
